Top three things to fix

Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.
Service data ended 1128 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the transit vehicles are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Add feed_info.txt with feed_start_date and feed_end_date to your export.
feed_info.txt is missing its start/end dates (the file itself is absent) Apps and this scorecard can't warn anyone before the feed goes stale without stated validity dates.
Effort: Two fields, set once in export settings.
Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use.
Some files leave out fields that GTFS asks for but does not require. Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.
Effort: A field at a time; not urgent.
