Top three things to fix
Review the rule documentation for 'equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Equal shape distance diff coordinates (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Effort: Varies.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
