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.

What needs attention next

Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:

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

   Invalid pickup drop off window (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   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: Varies.

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

   82 of 82 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.

   Fixing this covers all 82 stops in the feed.

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

3. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.

   90 of 90 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

   Fixing this covers all 90 trips in the feed.

   Estimated effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.
