No category changes since the last check.
Top three things to fix
Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 12 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.
Add fare_attributes.txt (or Fares v2 files) with your fare structure. If your service is fare-free, ask to have it marked fare-free instead.
The feed contains no fare information. Riders see 'fare unknown' in trip planners and can't budget their trip; visitors are most affected.
Effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.
Schedule a feed re-export now so the new calendar is live well before the current one ends.
This feed's service calendar runs out within the next 30 days. If a new feed isn't published before it ends, trip planners will drop your agency and riders will see no service.
Effort: Usually a re-export from your scheduling software.
