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.

Steve Titus, of Bozeman, models his Solar Bug energy efficient vehicle Thursday at NCAT’s SustainabilityFEST in Butte. The electric car travels at a cost of one cent per mile.

Pete and Nancy Norbeck of Butte are ever on the lookout for ways to make their 1915 West Side home more energy efficient.

The couple found a gold mine of information at Thursday’s SustainabilityFEST at the National Center for Appropriate Technology.
