<strong>Application</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Pedestrian</strong> <strong>Level</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Measures</strong><br />
SACOG<br />
Replication in Other Study Areas<br />
In part, this <strong>Pedestrian</strong> <strong>Level</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Service</strong> Analysis was a way to test pedestrian LOS models so<br />
that other agencies can perform their own analyses at other locations. Both the MMLOS and<br />
PPM models are suitable for evaluating pedestrian LOS. However, as it has been noted, the<br />
MMLOS model is extremely technical and is better suited for individual project analyses,<br />
rather than neighborhood walkability assessments. The point‐based system in the PPM<br />
model is better suited for analyses by advocacy and planning groups, especially considering<br />
the amount <strong>of</strong> customization possible simply by tweaking the point system.<br />
Opportunities for Future SACOG Analysis and Use<br />
SACOG hopes to incorporate some <strong>of</strong> the major determinants <strong>of</strong> pedestrian LOS into its<br />
modeling s<strong>of</strong>tware for use in future planning analyses.<br />
