The Public Transit Department invites small, disadvantaged, women-owned and minority local businesses to attend a business community meeting to learn about an
Availability and Disparity study. The study will focus on the use of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in the transportation contracting market.
In this meeting participants will have an opportunity to
- Learn about the comprehensive Availability and Disparity study
- Learn about future upcoming opportunities to do business with the City of Phoenix
- Be able to provide feedback and ask questions
Mason Tillman Associates will analyze the contracting practices of the Public Transit DBE program and determine if small, women-owned and minority local-owned businesses have equal access to public contracting opportunities as well as recommend solutions for improvements. The Public Transit
DBE program aims to provide disadvantaged businesses in the City of Phoenix with resources to be able to be more competitive. Participants do not need to be DBE certified to attend.
Feedback is highly encouraged from attending members of the public and small, women-owned and minority businesses.
The goal is to use the results of the study and the experience shared from Phoenix businesses to increase participation in the DBE program.
For questions or concerns regarding the meetings or the Availability and Disparity study, contact Mason-Tillman Associates at (602) 613-0644 or visit
