What feeds publish.

Across 1449 feeds, 42.8% publish flexible (demand-responsive) service, 62.9% publish fare data (5.7% using the newer Fares v2), and 0.3% model stations with accessible paths. These are the newer, optional parts of GTFS; adoption shows where the spec is spreading.

What this measures: adoption of optional parts of the spec, never quality. None of these counts changes a grade, and a feed without them is early, not failing.

Publishing flexible service

Feeds that already describe demand-responsive or dial-a-ride service in GTFS-Flex, so a trip planner can offer it.

Accessibility data coverage

Across 1449 feeds, an average of 13.7% of stops carry wheelchair-access information. When a stop is unmarked, a rider who uses a wheelchair cannot tell from a trip planner whether they can board there. What this measures: whether feeds publish the data, never whether a stop is physically usable.

Coverage is the share of a feed's stops carrying wheelchair_boarding and trips carrying wheelchair_accessible, the fields the California Transit Data Guidelines ask for. It never changes a grade. The same data is at the accessibility API (accessibility.json). This page is about data completeness; for how this site itself meets WCAG, see Accessibility.

In plain words: a feed does not need any of these to earn a good grade. This tracks where the newer, optional parts of GTFS are catching on, so an agency can see what peers publish and a program can see where to help next.

Adoption is read from each feed's own files: GTFS-Flex (locations.geojson, booking_rules.txt), fare data (fare_attributes.txt for the legacy model, fare_products.txt and fare_leg_rules.txt for Fares v2), and GTFS-Pathways (pathways.txt, levels.txt). It never changes a grade. The same data is at the adoption API (adoption.json).
