Disadvantaged Business Enterprise

Public Works Department Transit Division
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program
Overall Goal for FFYs 2026-2028

In keeping with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 26 (Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Programs), an overall Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal has been developed for DBE participation in DOT-assisted contracting by the City of Tracy Transit Division during Federal Fiscal Years (FFY) 2026 through 2028. The City of Tracy Transit Division receives funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) of U.S. Department of Transportation. The City of Tracy Transit Division's overall DBE goal for FFY 2026-2028 is 2.86% of the federal financial assistance we will expend in FTA-assisted contracts, exclusive of FTA funds to be used for the purchase of transit vehicles, which are calculated separately.

This goal identifies the relative availability of DBEs based on evidence of ready, willing, and able DBEs in relationship to all comparable businesses which are known to be available to compete in the Transit Division's FTA-assisted contracts.

The overall DBE goal reflects staff's determination of the level of DBE participation which would be expected absent the effects of discrimination.

Questions and comments can be made by contacting the City's FTA DBE Liaison Officer, Ed Lovell at (209) 831-6204 or at ed.lovell@cityoftracy.org.
