      Council Member Won questions department representatives on the effectiveness of outreach events for Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs). One speaker from the Department of Transportation highlights a notable increase in MWBE utilization rates, citing a recent rise to 24% and aiming for 30% in the coming fiscal year. This chapter also delves into how the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) and other departments track the impact of outreach on contracts awarded to first-time and existing vendors with New York City.
