Abstract:

The Michigan Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Office of Passenger Transportation, in ; conjunction with MDOT’s Research Administration, worked with Cambridge Systematics and ; Kimley-Horn and Associates to research performance measures for transit levels of service ; (LOS). MDOT sought to improve the transit LOS measures that are collected, analyzed, and ; aggregated from the local to statewide level to help gauge the effectiveness of transit in meeting ; the mobility needs of Michigan. Researchers reviewed the existing state of the practice in LOS ; measures, existing LOS practices in Michigan at the state and agency level, and available ; transit data. Several transit LOS measures were identified as building blocks for statewide and ; regional transit LOS performance measurement, including Passenger Trips Per Capita, Vehicle ; Revenue Hours Per Capita, Passenger Trips Per Transit Dependent Population, and Safety ; Incidents Per 100k Vehicle Miles. Researchers provided a snapshot of current transit LOS ; performance, a vision and feasibility assessment for the development of a transit LOS tool for ; data analysis, and a series of recommendations for MDOT to continue to improve transit ; LOS measurement.
