Dear SBTRC Community,

Effective January 30, 2026, the U.S. Department of Transportation Northeast Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC) has concluded operations following the discontinuation of national funding for the SBTRC network after more than 15 years hosted at LaGuardia Community College.

Throughout its tenure, the Northeast SBTRC supported small businesses and partners across the region through technical assistance, capacity-building initiatives, and programs such as the U.S. DOT Bonding Education Program, helping firms compete for transportation and infrastructure opportunities.

For future inquiries, please contact the U.S. Department of Transportation – Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU):202-407-3467 | [email protected] | transportation.gov/osdbu

Thank you for your collaboration and trust over the years.

The Northeast SBTRC Team
Hosted at LaGuardia Community College

As we light the candles this Hanukkah, we reflect on the themes of resilience, hope, and perseverance—values that also drive small businesses forward every day.

Wishing our partners, entrepreneurs, and community a joyful Festival of Lights filled with peace, strength, and new opportunities. ✨

Happy Hanukkah from the SBTRC Northeast Region!

As we pause to reflect during this season of gratitude, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you — our clients, stakeholders, and community partners — for the trust, collaboration, and dedication you have shared with us throughout this journey.

It has been a true honor to serve alongside you as Regional Director of the USDOT Northeast Small Business Transportation Resource Center (SBTRC). Over the past five years, our team has had the privilege of supporting thousands of small businesses, helping them build capacity, strengthen their foundations, and pursue opportunities within the transportation and infrastructure sectors. Your resilience, vision, and partnership have been the heart of this work.

As we approach the completion of the SBTRC program mission through 2025, we do so with deep pride in what we have accomplished together and sincere gratitude for the relationships we have built along the way. The impact created belongs to all of us.

On this Thanksgiving, I wish you peace, safety, and meaningful time with your loved ones. May this season bring renewed hope, continued growth, and many blessings to you and your families.

With warmest gratitude,

Lizbeth Rodriguez
