Top three things to fix

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

   Service data runs out in 15 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. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

   1112 of 1112 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.

3. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).

   689 of 689 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: Often one default setting in your export.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).
