Central Florida Regional Transit Authority (LYNX)

What this grade measures

The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes for trip-planning apps: whether riders using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Transit see current, correct, and complete information. It measures the data feed, not service quality or operations.

Progress this period

No newly cleared items this period. The score and trend above reflect where the feed stands today.

What needs attention next

Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:

1. Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.

   Service data runs out in 28 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.

   Estimated effort: One export setting.

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

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

   Estimated effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

3. 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.

   Estimated effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.
