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.

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

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.

    1749 of 1749 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. 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.

    Effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.

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

    Trip distance exceeds shape distance below threshold (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

NTD certification readiness: Ready

This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 62 days.

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.
