Top three things to fix

1. Review the rule documentation for 'invalid_phone_number' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

   Invalid phone number (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Effort: Varies.

2. Check the trip updates endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

   The trip updates realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.

   Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
