The concept of Level of Service (LOS) has been around for some time.

Now it's being incorporated into the new Highway Capacity Manual to be published in 2010, based on research performed for the NCHRP: multimodal LOS for Urban Streets. Learn more about LOS at a one-hour webinar scheduled for March 18th, 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Bruce Landis of Sprinkle Consulting will introduce newcomers to LOS, then describe new bicycle and pedestrian level of service models. Joe Fish, a transportation planner for the city of Bloomington, Indiana,
will describe some results of a pedestrian LOS case study.

The LOS webinar is part of the Professional Development webinar series , co-hosted by the National Center for Bicycling & Walking (NCBW), the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP), and
Cullbridge Communications.

The charge for each location is $50 for APBP members, and $60 for non-APBP members. Note that you can have more than one person at a given webinar site, but you can have only one computer link and phone line for audio under the fee structure above.
