Sound Transit commissioned BBC Research & Consulting (BBC) to conduct a disparity study to measure the participation and availability of small, local, person of color- (POC-), woman-, veteran-, and LGBTQ-owned businesses in its contracts and procurements and provide recommendations for Sound Transit to improve its implementation of the Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program. BBC is a 55-year-old economic and diversity research firm based in Denver, Colorado and has conducted more than 150 disparity studies for cities, states, and other organizations across the country.
