Abstract
  • Traditional methods for computing level of service (LOS) have implicitly favored mobility at the expense of accessibility. The LOS concept was developed by highway engineers in the 1950s as a method of measuring the level of mobility provided by a certain facility (FDOT, 2002). It has been applied in recent years to alternative transportation modes such as walking, bicycling and public transit. This article analyzes and compares the results of applying several of the LOS methods that have been developed for alternative transportation modes to a study area in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
