Texas HB341 mandates a study on traffic collisions involving bicycles, electric bicycles, and motor-assisted scooters.

Texas HB341 requires the Texas Department of Transportation to study the impact of bicycle lanes on traffic collisions involving bicycles, electric bicycles, and motor-assisted scooters. The study will analyze collision data, including demographic information, geographic areas, times of day, causes, and whether collisions occurred in bicycle lanes. The department will also assess if bicycle lanes reduce collision rates. A report with findings, recommendations on roadway designs, and information on bicycle lane availability must be submitted to the legislature by January 1, 2027.
