WSDOT Safe Harbor Program Made Simple Training: Jan. 20 from 1-3pm
The eligibility requirements for the DBE and ACDBE programs changed on October 3, 2025 due to an Interim Final Rule (IFR) recently issued by USDOT. This change is retroactive for all currently certified DBE and ACDBE businesses. The IFR removes the presumption of social and economic disadvantage for women and certain minority groups.
To remain certified in the DBE and ACDBE programs, each owner must submit a Personal Narrative (PN) and a current Personal Net Worth (PNW) Statement. At least 51% of the firm’s owners must demonstrate Social and Economic Disadvantage based on their own experiences and circumstances within American society, without regard to race or gender.
