Top three things to fix

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

    Stop time with arrival before previous departure time (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

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

  3. Check the service alerts endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

    The service alerts 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.
