This book was released on 2011 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 416: Implementing Race-Neutral Measures in State Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Programs explores race-neutral strategies being used effectively by state departments of transportation (DOTs) to meet their Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) participation goals. It also reviews and synthesizes problems faced by state DOTs in the administration of their DBE programs and identifies race-neutral remedies used to overcome these challenges. As state DOT's carry out their highway construction programs, they are required to direct a portion of their federal-aid fund expenditures toward small businesses called DBEs. A DBE is defined as a small, for-profit business concern that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. States are required to meet the maximum feasible portion of their DBE participation goals using race-neutral means designed to remove barriers and enhance opportunities for all small businesses, not just DBEs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed whether federal guidance and oversight engender effective and consistent state application of the legal eligibility standards governing the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. GAO found that: (1) ineffective federal guidance has hindered state ability to consistently apply the eligibility criteria for the program; (2) DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) have issued confusing and conflicting eligibility guidance; (3) DOT does not use a systematic approach for providing guidance; (4) there is no clearly designated lead office, uniform order or instruction, or procedure to develop, update, and coordinate the distribution of eligibility guidance to the states; (5) DOT and FHwA offices do not effectively coordinate their efforts to provide eligibility guidance and as a result the same firm could be certified as eligible in one state but denied eligibility in another; (6) DOT is revising the regulation governing the program to clarify eligibility guidance, but the revisions have been under way since 1988 and DOT did not meet a 1991 deadline; (7) FHwA is responsible for overseeing states' interpretation of the program, but it has not established a system to evaluate whether states correctly and uniformly apply eligibility criteria; and (8) FHwA requires its field offices to oversee state agencies' eligibility criteria, but the offices examined eligibility decisions in only 22 state agencies between 1988 and 1991.
