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.

Fewer state and local governments are urging Americans to "come and visit us" — just as more people say they’re hitting the road or are ready to go.

About 20 states have cut spending in the past year on advertising and other promotion and support to try to lure tourists and their vacation dollars, the U.S. Travel Association says.

That includes states that depend heavily on tourists’ dollars such as Hawaii, Washington, New York, South Carolina and Arizona.
