City of Madera

What changed since the last check

• Correctness no change
• Freshness down 1.7
• Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

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

   Service data runs out in 23 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.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 61 observed fixes).

2. Review the rule documentation for 'invalid_phone_number' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

   Invalid phone number (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Effort: Varies.

3. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

   114 of 114 stops don't say whether a wheelchair user can board there. Riders who use wheelchairs can't plan a trip when accessibility is marked 'unknown'; apps show no information at all.

   Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

Ready to send to the agency

Hi City of Madera team, Service data runs out in 23 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
