Notice is hereby given that in accordance with US DOT regulation 49 CFR Part 26, the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) has established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (DBE) for disadvantaged business participation in the federal-aid highway and bridge construction programs; MaineDOT contracts covered by the program include consulting, construction, supplies, manufacturing, and service contracts.
For FFY 2026-28 (October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028) MaineDOT has established an annual DBE participation goal of 1.20% to be achieved through race/gender neutral means. MaineDOT must meet this goal each federal fiscal year. If the goal is not met, MaineDOT must provide a justification for not meeting the goal.
MaineDOT asks all contractors, consultants and subcontractors to seek certified DBE firms for FTA funded projects and to work to meet the determined 1.20% goal. DBE firms are listed on the MaineDOT Disadvantaged Business Enterprises website.
Interested parties may view MaineDOT’s FTA DBE goal setting methodology, also posted on this website. If you have questions regarding this goal or the DBE program you may contact Mary Bryant at the Maine Department of Transportation, Civil Rights Office by telephone at (207) 624-3056 or by e-mail
