What is an annual goal?
A17: Each year the MBTA establishes its overall annual DBE goal for DOT-assisted contracts, for the period of October 1, through September 30.The annual goal takes into account the number of DBEs in the marketplace and the types of work the DBEs perform and compares it to the upcoming opportunities generated by the MBTA and the types of work required for those opportunities.
