Relating to a prohibition on certain roadway projects and to the distribution of affordable housing funds to local governmental entities that violate that prohibition.

HB 4348 prohibits local governments in Texas from implementing certain roadway projects that reallocate existing vehicular lanes to non-vehicle uses, such as bike lanes, bus lanes, sidewalks, or parking. It directly affects cities and counties that maintain roadways, requiring them to avoid projects that narrow lanes or shift space from vehicle travel. The bill links this prohibition to affordable housing funding: local entities violating the rule lose eligibility for state affordable housing funds distributed to local governments. The law creates a direct consequence for roadway project choices by tying access to housing funds to compliance with the new transportation restrictions.
