What this bill would do

The Build More Housing Near Transit Act of 2025 aims to amend title 49 of the United States Code. It seeks to include affordable housing incentives within certain capital investment grants. The bill defines "pro-housing policy" as actions taken by States or local governments to remove regulatory barriers to building or preserving housing. Specifically, it covers actions like reducing parking minimums, changing lot sizes, and adjusting height limits. The Secretary may increase project ratings if applicants demonstrate these policies are in place near transit routes.
