The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer used his State of the State address Wednesday night to unveil a proposed $44 million-a-year surcharge on oil-and-gas production to fund higher teacher salaries in the state.
