Top three things to fix
Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 23 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.
Effort: One export setting.
Review the rule documentation for 'invalid_time' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Invalid time (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Effort: Varies.
Add feed_info.txt with feed_start_date and feed_end_date to your export.
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.
Effort: Two fields, set once in export settings.
