Level of Service

Level of Service (LOS) is a quality measurement used to evaluate how well a transportation system, like roads or transit, meets user needs. It considers factors such as travel speed, congestion, safety, and comfort. Higher LOS indicates better service with less delay and more convenience, while lower LOS reflects poorer conditions, like frequent traffic jams or delays. Transportation planners use LOS to assess infrastructure performance and guide improvements, ensuring efficient and reliable mobility for users.
