(1) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(A) despite the real improvements caused 
by the disadvantaged business enterprise pro-
gram, minority- and women-owned businesses 
across the country continue to confront serious 
and significant obstacles to success caused by 
race and gender discrimination in the federally 
assisted surface transportation market and re-
lated markets across the United States; 
(B) the continuing race and gender dis-
crimination described in subparagraph (A) mer-
its the continuation of the disadvantaged busi-
ness enterprise program; 
(C) recently, the disparities cause by dis-
crimination against African American, Hispanic 
American, Asian American, Native American, 
and women business owners have been further 
exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic and 
its disproportionate effects on minority- and 
women-owned businesses across the nation; 
(D) Congress has received and reviewed 
testimony and documentation of race and gen-
der discrimination from numerous sources, in-
cluding congressional hearings and other inves-

level of government, news reports, academic 
publications, reports of discrimination by orga-
nizations and individuals, and discrimination 
lawsuits, which continue to demonstrate that 
race- and gender-neutral efforts alone are insuf-
ficient to address the problem; 
(E) the testimony and documentation de-
scribed in subparagraph (D) demonstrate that 
discrimination across the United States poses 
an injurious and enduring barrier to full and 
fair participation in surface transportation-re-
lated businesses of women business owners and 
minority business owners and has negatively af-
fected firm formation, development and success 
in many aspects of surface transportation-re-
lated business in the public and private mar-

that continues to plague our nation and a 
strong basis that there is a compelling need for
