Mass Transit Tunnel Project: Advancing a Successful Federal DBE Program

Project Update and Overview


NJ TRANSIT has successfully engaged in over thirty qualified USDOT Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms (DBE) to participate in the preliminary engineering design phase for the Mass Transit Tunnel Project. Together these firms have already completed over $20 million in work to help move the early design forward. The vast majority of the funding associated with the Mass Transit Tunnel Project will be expended during construction. As such, the project is expected to generate over $1 billion in contracting opportunities for DBE firms during the almost decade-long construction project. NJ TRANSIT looks forward to working with the DBE community on goal setting for this and other important projects over the coming decade.
