Fairfax CUE Bus (CUE)
Grade D · 68.3 / 100
Unchanged since 2026-07-08.
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.
Progress this period
No newly cleared items this period. The score and trend above reflect where the feed stands today.
What needs attention next
Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
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.
Estimated effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).
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.
Estimated effort: Often one default setting in your export.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).
Populate trip_headsign to match what the bus displays.
189 of 189 trips have no headsign. Riders at the stop can't tell which direction a bus is going.
Estimated effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.
