BBC Research & Consulting (BBC) conducted a disparity study for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to assess outcomes for person of color- and woman-owned businesses in Caltrans' Federal Transit Authority (FTA)-funded contracting and procurement. The study will help inform Caltrans' efforts to encourage the participation of those businesses in Caltrans' FTA-funded work as well as provide necessary information to assist Caltrans in setting its Federal Fiscal Year 2026-2028 Triennial Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goal.

BBC, with Caltrans' support, will be holding two (2) public comment sessions to provide information about the study's results, information about Caltrans' proposed Triennial DBE Goal, answer questions about the study and the goal, and collect comments regarding the proposed goal.
