Clean Air Express

Grade A · 90.4 / 100

First check for this agency, so there is no trend yet.

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

No category changes since the last check.

Top three things to fix

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

    38 of 45 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.

  2. 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.

    Effort: One setting in most export tools.

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

    6 of 38 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

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