Call-prep brief · checked 2026-07-09

Reds Meadow Shuttle

Grade B · 85.6 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-07-08.

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

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness no change
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

  1. 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.

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

    Stop too far from shape using user distance (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 6 observed fixes).

  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.

Published Ready

Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 187 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.
