Top three things to fix
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.
Effort: One export setting.
Delete the empty calendars or set their service days.
Some service calendars have no days of the week switched on. Trips tied to these calendars never run; they are dead data that can mask real schedule problems.
Effort: A few minutes in your scheduling software.
Check the flagged trips in your scheduling software; remove them or restore their missing stops.
Some trips serve fewer than two stops. A trip with one stop can't be ridden; planners ignore it and it may signal an export problem.
Effort: Worth a vendor question if it appears often.

Hi Champaign Urbana Mass Transit District (MTD) team, Service data runs out in 28 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency.
