Top three things to fix
Add the required column named in the finding to the flagged file.
A file is missing a column that GTFS requires. Apps may reject the whole file, so riders could lose the affected routes or stops.
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.
Effort: Often an export setting; ask your vendor if it recurs.
Ask your AVL vendor to check that every vehicle assignment reaches TripUpdates. School-day and tripper runs are the ones most often left out.
1 of 1 trips scheduled during the sampling window had no live predictions. Riders on those trips get schedule times labeled as live. Caltrans asks that every trip you run shows up in TripUpdates.
This was measured over a realtime sampling window, so it has no feed-wide share.
Effort: A vendor data-mapping question.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
307 of 307 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.
Fixing this covers all 307 stops in the feed.
Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- Rider-trip figures come from the United States National Transit Database, which does not cover this feed's country.
- The served-area need overlays cover the United States and Canada, so none of them applies to this feed.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
