What is the Unified Certification Program (UCP)?
The UCP will provide one-stop shopping for DBE firms. One unified directory including all certified DBE firms will be available for the entire State of Ohio. The advantages for the DBE firms are: one certification will enable them to be eligible to fulfill DBE goals set on any project with any governmental agency receiving Federal Transportation funding in Ohio; and the DBE firms will also have more visibility due to the unified state-wide directory.
