Through Gov. JB Pritzker’s historic, bipartisan
Rebuild Illinois, IDOT is helping to deliver the largest capital
program in state history while promoting diversity, equity and
inclusion.
Administered by IDOT, the DBE program provides minorities, women and
eligible small businesses with opportunities to participate in
federally and state funded highway, transit and airport contracts.
