On October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) issued an Interim Final Rule (49 CFR Parts 23 & 26, Docket No. DOT-OST-2025-0897, RIN 2105-AF33). This ruling makes immediate and significant changes to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concession DBE (ACDBE) programs nationwide. In compliance with this new ruling, the Alaska Department of Transportation (Alaska DOT&PF) Civil Rights Office (CRO) has developed a dedicated page. This page serves as a resource and contains the most current information related to the ruling, including required forms, frequently asked questions, implementation timelines, instructions, and other helpful guidance to support compliance and understanding.
