The department is committed to diverse business development and alignment with federal regulations that required overall Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal setting. When the DBE Program is operational, the DBE goal is reevaluated on a triennial basis.
Goal: WisDOT strived to ensure that at least 12.42% of the federal funds authorized for the highway and transit financial assistance programs was expended with DBEs for FFY 2024-25. On September 30, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced changes to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. The new interim final rule (IFR), which became effective October 3, 2025, removes race- and sex-based presumptions of disadvantage and requires all DBE firms to undergo recertification. Until recertification is complete, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and other Wisconsin DBE-certifying agencies may not set DBE goals for new contracts or count DBE participation toward existing goals.
