NMDOT DBE Program

The goal of the DBE program is to make sure there is equal opportunity in the award of US DOT-assisted contracts for highway, transit, and airport projects.  The program is intended to provide a “level playing field” on which DBEs can compete fairly.  To make certain that only bona fide firms participate, the NMDOT has a comprehensive DBE certification program.
