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.

Using mobile technology, public utility workers in Westminster, Colo., can now inspect manholes approximately 90 percent faster than they could just last year.

Westminster did this by swapping paper and clipboards for an app tailored by CityGovApp to simplify the city’s nearly 5,000 yearly manhole inspections so that the process now takes inspectors, on average, 30 seconds versus 5 minutes, said Keith Alvis, maintenance management system coordinator for the city.

On top of speeding up inspections, the app also is helping the city to eliminate duplicate data entry, make data available quicker, and lower its costs, according to Haseeb Chaudhry, COO of CityGovApp.
