| 摘要： | The U.S. Department of Transportations (USDOT) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program is designed to remedy the effects of current and past discrimination against small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and to foster equal opportunity in transportation contracting. The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 contained the first statutory DBE provision for federal highway and transit programs, requiring that at least 10 percent of the funds provided be expended with DBEs, unless the Secretary of Transportation determined otherwise. From 1983 through 1999, about $35 billion of the federal funds expended through USDOT-assisted highway and transit contracts went to DBEs. Congressional debate preceding the passage in 1998 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which reauthorized the DBE program, focused largely on the need for and impact of the DBE program. USDOT issued new regulations in 1999 that significantly altered the DBE program. |
