Grade A · 91.9 / 100
Unchanged since 2026-10-06.
What this grade measures
The quality of the schedule data in the feed scored here 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:
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.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
Estimated effort: Two fields, set once in export settings.
Add feed_info.txt with publisher name, URL, language, and feed_start_date/feed_end_date.
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.
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.
Estimated effort: One small file, set once in export settings.
Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt.
feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url). App makers and state data programs have nobody to email when they spot a problem. Small errors then sit in the feed for months.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
Estimated effort: One field.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
- Florida as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-05.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
