El Dorado County Transit Authority

What this grade measures

The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes 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. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

   112 of 128 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.

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

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

   135 of 135 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

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

3. Check the flagged stop times for transposed minutes.

   Some scheduled trips move faster between stops than a bus can. Usually a typo'd stop time; riders get arrival times no bus can meet.

   Estimated effort: A few minutes per flagged trip.
