Champaign Urbana Mass Transit District (MTD)
Grade C · 76.8 / 100
Unchanged since 2026-08-22.
What this grade measures
The quality of the schedule data in the feed scored here 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:
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.
Estimated 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.
Estimated effort: Worth a vendor question if it appears often.
Check the flagged stops' coordinates and the route shape in your scheduling software; re-snap whichever is misplaced.
Some stops sit far from the route line they belong to. Trip planners may draw the bus route through the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.
Estimated effort: A few minutes per flagged stop.
