Grade D · 69.8 / 100
Unchanged since 2026-10-06.
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:
Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out. Set feed_end_date in feed_info.txt past your next service change.
Service data ended 160 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
Estimated effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed.
Some service calendars in the feed have already ended. Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: One setting in most export tools.
Export and publish an updated GTFS feed that covers at least the next 30 days of service.
This feed's service calendar runs out within the next 7 days. When the calendar ends, Google Maps and other trip planners drop your agency entirely. Riders see no service at all.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: Usually a re-export from your scheduling software.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
- Arizona as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-05.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
