The U.S. Department of Transportation's DBE (disadvantaged business enterprise) program provides a vehicle for increasing the participation of socially and economically disadvantaged firms in state contracts. DOT DBE regulations require INDOT to establish goals for the participation of DBEs. INDOT is required to establish an annual DBE goal and to also establish contract-specific DBE subcontracting goals.
In addition to establishing goals, INDOT also certifies the eligibility of firms to participate in the DBE Program. The main objectives of the DBE Program are:
- To ensure that small disadvantaged business enterprises ( DBE) can compete fairly for federally funded transportation-related projects.
- To ensure that only eligible firms participate as DBEs.
To be certified as a DBE, a firm must be a small business owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Certifiers make the determinations based upon on-site visits, personal interviews, reviews of licenses, stock ownership, equipment, work completed, resumes of principal owners and financial capacity.

Included on that website is information on regulatory issuances, guidance for DBE program administrators, questions and answers on the DBE rule, DBE program contacts, background on the DBE rule, and other useful information
