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.

In 1974, a group of Bozeman parents organized to help their adult children with disabilities.

"Forty years ago people were being told if you had a son or daughter with a disability you put them in an institution and that’s what you do and that’s what a lot of people did," said Rob Tallon, executive director of Reach, Inc. http://reachinc.org/ "That’s not the norm anymore, that doesn’t happen anymore and that’s the change that has occurred over 40 years."

In 1974, some of those parents on a shoestring budget created Reach, Inc. to help their adult children with disabilities find a place in the world.
