Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program
It is the policy of the Clark County Public Transportation Benefit Area Authority
(dba C-TRAN) to encourage Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participa­
tion on all C-TRAN projects. Therefore, C-TRAN maintains a DBE Program
based upon Department of Transportation (DOT) Rule 49, CFR, Part 23, and
directives of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) Office of
Civil Rights.
The overall goal of C-TRAN’s DBE Program is to insure that DBE is are given the
maximum opportunity to participate in all projects. Specifically, C-TRAN is secur­
ing a minimum of 15 Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation in all
procurement opportunities.
We believe in it
The Procurement and Grants Manager, acting as the DBE Program Coordinator, is
responsible for monitoring the DBE program, insuring Program compliance with
federal and state guidelines, and soliciting DBE participation in all procurements.
All Departmental Directors assume responsibility for DBE Program compliance
within their department. DBE’s are welcome and encouraged to apply for C-TRAN
certification in order to facilitate participation in any present and future contracting
opportunities.
