Top three things to fix
Review the rule documentation for 'trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Trip distance exceeds shape distance (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Effort: Varies.
Re-generate shape distances in your export; flag to your vendor if it persists.
Some trips have stop times whose distances along the route go backwards. Apps can show transit vehicles jumping backwards or mis-order stops.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
18272 of 18274 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.
Fixing this covers 18,272 of 18,274 stops, nearly all of them.
Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- Rider-trip figures come from the United States National Transit Database, which does not cover this feed's country.
- The served-area need overlays cover the United States and Canada, so none of them applies to this feed.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
