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.

Soon after Paul Buchheit joined Google in 1999, he coined the phrase "Don’t be evil," which along with profit and loss, remains the yardstick by which Google is most commonly judged. As employee No. 23, Buchheit created Gmail and helped start AdSense, the advertising program that is Google’s second-biggest revenue source.

After leaving Google in 2006, Buchheit started FriendFeed in 2007, which was acquired by Facebook in 2009. He had become one of the lucky few with an inside view on the development of arguably the two most important companies on the Internet.
