摘要：	The Michigan Department of Transportations (MDOT) Office of Passenger Transportation, in conjunction with MDOT's Research Administration, tasked Cambridge Systematics and Kimley-Horn and Associates to research performance measures for transit levels of service (LOS). MDOT sought to enhance the transit LOS measures that are collected, analyzed, and aggregated from the local to statewide level to better assess the effectiveness of current transit services in meeting the mobility needs of the people of Michigan. Transit LOS can be challenging to measure, particularly on regional and statewide levels. The national dialogue on transit LOS tends to focus on complex, data-intensive measures appropriate to larger urban areas by agencies which have the budget and expertise for advanced data collection but difficult to apply in smaller communities and rural areas. MDOT sought a simple, reliable set of transit LOS measures that accurately capture and communicate the performance of Michigan transit systems and support long-range planning decisions with a minimal burden of data collection and complex analysis on transit agencies. 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.
