The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has commissioned BBC Research & Consulting to conduct a disparity study to assess whether minority and woman-owned businesses face any barriers as part of Caltrans’s contracting processes.
The September and October 2024 public engagement sessions will provide information about the study, answer questions, and collect insights about business conditions in the California marketplace, which will be integrated into the disparity study.
Information from the six virtual public engagement sessions will help Caltrans assess its efforts to encourage the participation of minority and woman-owned businesses in local contracts and helps inform any refinements that Caltrans might make to its implementation of the Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.
