In October, the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) announced the selection of The Enterprise Center of Philadelphia, a non-profit organization, to serve as Small Business Transportation Resource Centers (SBTRCs) for the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Small businesses that are eligible to take advantage of SBTRC services are those certified as:
- 8(a) firms

- Women Owned Small Business (WOB)
- HubZone
- Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB)
