Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Supportive Services Expansion Act

This bill increases funding for federal programs supporting small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. It raises the annual cap for highway program supportive services from $10 million to $25 million and adds $5 million per year for transit program training and assistance. It also creates a new $5 million annual aviation program to help disadvantaged-owned businesses compete for airport-related contracts. These changes directly affect small businesses seeking federal contracting opportunities in transportation infrastructure projects.
