City of Winona MN - Winona Transit Service

What this grade measures

The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes 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:

1. Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.

   Service data ended 189 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.

   Estimated effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).

2. Populate trip_headsign to match what the bus displays.

   72 of 72 trips have no headsign. Riders at the stop can't tell which direction a bus is going.

   Estimated effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.

3. 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.

   Estimated effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.
