Level of Service (LOS)

Level of Service (LOS) is a term used to describe the quality of service provided by a transportation system, such as a port, airport, or roadway. LOS is typically measured by factors such as travel time, reliability, safety, and accessibility. A higher level of service indicates better quality and greater efficiency, while a lower level of service may result in delays, congestion, and reduced productivity. LOS is an important consideration for shippers and carriers when selecting transportation routes and modes.
