Clark County Public Transportation Benefit Area

Grade B · 84.1 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-07-08.

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness no change
  • Rider experience no change
  • Realtime quality no change

Top three things to fix

  1. Check the vehicle positions endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

    The vehicle positions realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.

    Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 9 observed fixes).

  2. Check the service alerts endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

    The service alerts realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.

    Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

  3. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

    911 of 915 stops don't say whether a wheelchair user can board there. Riders who use wheelchairs can't plan a trip when accessibility is marked 'unknown'; apps show no information at all.

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

NTD certification readiness: Ready

Published at a public URL, valid, and current: the three things the NTD GTFS requirement asks of a feed all hold here. Only your own D-10 certification makes that official; this is a heads-up, not a determination.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
