A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.3, validator 8.0.1.

Checked for changes 79 minutes ago; last fetch returned HTTP 404.

Measured 3 of 4 score categories from the Mobility Database's mirror copy of the feed.

How we measured this

Confidence in this measurement: provisional.

  • Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
  • The agency's own feed URL was unreachable, so the Mobility Database's hosted mirror copy was scored instead.

Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.Likely your team

197 of 197 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.

⏱ A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.worth about +25 points in its category

Fix 02

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

189 of 189 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

⏱ A default or per-trip field in your export.worth about +15 points in its category

Fix 03

Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign.

189 of 189 trips lack rider-facing destination or direction text. When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.

⏱ Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.worth about +15 points in its category

Rider view: what this feed publishes

A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.

Schedule visibility
The feed states that service is published through 2040-01-30. This may be intentional or a placeholder; confirm current service with the transit operator.
Published accessibility data
Accessibility information is stated for 0% of stops and 0% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
Fare information
No fare information is published in the feed.
Realtime information
Realtime-feed availability and live-arrival coverage are not known from this scorecard.

Important: This does not rate service reliability. Riders should confirm current service alerts, fares, and accessibility accommodations with the transit operator before traveling.

Score by category

Correctness91.5 / 100

The MobilityData validator flagged 3 kinds of issue across 8 instances (0 error, 5 warning, 3 informational).

Freshness85.0 / 100

Service is published through 2040-01-30. It may be intentional, but confirm the end date before treating the feed as maintained.

Rider experience22.5 / 100

0% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (0% marked accessible, 0% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is not published.

Accessibility0 / 100

0% of stops state accessibility (0% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.

1 accessibility depth signal

  • 157 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("Nutley St at Hermosa Dr", "Nutley St at Barrick St", "Arlington Blvd at Stonehurst Dr (WB)", and more).

    Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.

Everything we checked

9 findings, ordered by severity.

Show every finding
  • Warning197 instances

    197 of 197 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.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. (A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference

  • Warning189 instances

    189 of 189 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.

    Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip. (A default or per-trip field in your export.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_accessible_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference

  • Warning189 instances

    189 of 189 trips lack rider-facing destination or direction text.

    When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.

    Fix: Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign. (Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.)

    Finding code: scorecard_missing_headsigns · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices

  • Warning4 instances

    Some files leave out fields that GTFS asks for but does not require.

    Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.

    Fix: Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use. (A field at a time; not urgent.)

    Finding code: missing_recommended_field · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    A file GTFS asks for (usually feed_info.txt) is missing.

    feed_info.txt tells apps who publishes the feed and when it expires; without it nobody is warned before data goes stale.

    Fix: Add feed_info.txt with publisher name, URL, language, and feed_start_date/feed_end_date. (One small file, set once in export settings.)

    Finding code: missing_recommended_file · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    feed_info.txt is missing its start/end dates (the file itself is absent)

    Apps and this scorecard can't warn anyone before the feed goes stale without stated validity dates.

    Fix: Add feed_info.txt with feed_start_date and feed_end_date to your export. (Two fields, set once in export settings.)

    Finding code: scorecard_missing_feed_info_dates · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    The feed contains no fare information.

    Riders see 'fare unknown' in trip planners and can't budget their trip; visitors are most affected.

    Fix: 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. (A small file for most flat-fare systems.)

    Finding code: scorecard_no_fare_data · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices

  • Info3 instances

    Service extends far in the future (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'service_extends_far_in_the_future' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

    Finding code: service_extends_far_in_the_future · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Info1 instance

    feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url).

    Trip-planning apps and regional data coordinators have nobody to email when they spot a problem with your feed, so problems linger.

    Fix: Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt. (One field.)

    Finding code: scorecard_no_feed_contact · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

NTD GTFS readiness Ready

Published at a public URL, valid, current, and identified with agency_id: the four feed checks for RY2026 all hold here. Only your own D-10 and P-50 filings make that official; this is a heads-up, not a determination.

Published Ready
Published at a public URL.
Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
The published window is current, but its service end date is unusually distant; confirm that date is intentional.
agency_id provided Ready
agency.txt provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk each value on the P-50 form.
agency_id equals your NTD ID (optional) Not checked yet
This feed provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk it on the P-50 form. The value does not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID; we do not have that ID on file, so the optional equality comparison is not checked yet.
shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
All 189 trips have a shape in shapes.txt.

In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed, provide a stable agency_id for each represented reporter, and confirm the feed and P-50 crosswalk each year. This box is a heads-up; your filings are the official check.

A readiness signal mapping this feed to the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement (Report Year 2023 onward: a public, valid, current feed, certified annually on the D-10). For RY2026, each represented reporter needs a stable agency_id, unique within the feed and crosswalked to its five-digit NTD ID on P-50; the values do not need to be equal. FTA also requires shapes.txt in the published GTFS: Full Reporters from Report Year 2025, and Reduced, Rural, and Tribal Reporters from Report Year 2026. Not an official determination; your certification is the official check.

Conformance mark Not yet

This feed is close to the conformance mark. States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Valid Met
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Met
The published window is current, but its service end date is unusually distant; confirm that date is intentional.
Accessible Not yet
States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.

A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.

Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed clears the four-week coverage window, but its service end date is unusually distant. Confirm that date is intentional before treating it as evidence of ongoing maintenance. No validator errors either, so riders keep seeing this agency in their trip planners; warnings lower the grade here but do not remove a feed from Maps.

How this agency maps to the standards

The scorecard is a data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Its universal references describe good GTFS and useful rider information. Useful references here are GTFS Schedule Best Practices, GTFS-Realtime Best Practices, MobilityData grading scheme, Google Transit publication guidance, FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement. Read the full standards crosswalk.

Correctness 92 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading covers stop locations, route names, and colors. Google Transit requires a feed to pass validation for publication. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is valid.
Freshness 85 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices call for a dataset that stays current. An expired calendar can remove service from Google Transit and other rider trip planners. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is current.
Rider experience 22 / 100
GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
Realtime quality Not yet published
GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.
