Diversity in our workforce and business partnerships is a part of our core mission at IDOT. The department believes diversity, where men and women of different nationalities, races and backgrounds work together to build a world-class, multimodal transportation system in Illinois, strengthens us as a state. The Office of Business and Workforce Diversity helps ensure IDOT meets those goals. Chief among OBWD’s responsibilities is administering the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program as well as to helping IDOT build a workforce within the agency and on its job sites that reflects the communities it serves.
