Abstract:

The “Level of Traffic Stress” (LTS) framework, first proposed in a 2012 Mineta Transportation Institute report, is an increasingly popular approach to evaluating the quality of roadways for bicycling. In their new MTI report, authors Chester Harvey, Kevin Fang, and Daniel A. Rodriguez further explore what LTS tells practitioners and researchers about the bicycling environment. To investigate the validity of LTS, the authors compare conceptual LTS ratings and LTS model inputs with real world, user-reported data on how satisfactory or not satisfactory bicycle trips are. Additionally, the authors look at the comparability of multiple variants of the LTS method developed since 2012.
