A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.1, validator 8.0.1.
Checked for changes 10 hours ago; last fetch returned HTTP 400.
Measured 3 of 4 score categories from the Mobility Database's mirror copy of the feed.
How we measured this
Confidence in this measurement: provisional.
- Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
- The agency's own feed URL was unreachable, so the Mobility Database's hosted mirror copy was scored instead.
Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Service data ended 921 day(s) ago.
When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Fix: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. (Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.)
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).

- Warning322 instances
322 of 322 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.
Fix: Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. (A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.)

Some trips serve fewer than two stops.
A trip with one stop can't be ridden; planners ignore it and it may signal an export problem.
Fix: Check the flagged trips in your scheduling software; remove them or restore their missing stops. (Worth a vendor question if it appears often.)

feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url).

Beyond the grade
Opportunities that do not change your grade today: fare detail, on-demand service, and deeper accessibility data.
295 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("Central Park Blvd. @ Funland", "Fall Hill Ave. @ Forest Village Apts.", "Train Station (Caroline St.)", and more).
Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.
NTD certification readiness Not ready
Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. 4 validator errors to resolve. Service data expired 921 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
- Published Ready
- Published at a public URL.
- Valid Needs attention
- 4 validator errors to resolve.
- Current Not ready
- Service data expired 921 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
- agency_id matches your 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.
- shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
- All 171 trips have a shape in shapes.txt.
In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed and confirm it once a year. This box is a heads-up on whether yours looks ready; it is not the official sign-off.
A readiness signal mapping this feed to the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement (Report Year 2023 onward: a public, valid, current feed, certified annually on the D-10). Aligning agency_id with your NTD ID lets the feed line up with your NTD record; the July 2025 final rule links the two on the P-50 form rather than requiring that feed change, and requires shapes.txt in the published GTFS: Full Reporters from Report Year 2025, and Reduced, Rural, and Tribal Reporters from Report Year 2026. Not an official determination; your certification is the official check.
Conformance mark Not yet
This feed is close to the conformance mark. 4 validator errors to resolve. Service data expired 921 days ago. States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 100% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.
- Valid Not yet
- 4 validator errors to resolve.
- Current Not yet
- Service data expired 921 days ago.
- Accessible Not yet
- States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 100% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.
In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.
A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.
Can riders use it?
Checks beyond structural validation: places where the feed is valid but a rider still could not travel.
- 2 of 171 trips list fewer than two stops. A trip with one stop has no leg a rider can ride; trip planners can't route anyone on it, so the service effectively does not exist. Check your scheduling export: every trip should list each stop it calls at, in order, with times.
- 5 of 322 boardable stops are never served by any trip. Riders see these stops in apps and on the map but can never catch anything there, which erodes trust in the data. Remove stops no route serves, or add the trips that should call at them.
These do not change the grade. They catch trips with no rideable leg and stops no trip serves, the kind of gap a trip planner trips over.
Below the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed's last day of service has passed, so Google and Apple Maps will stop showing your agency. Re-export with a calendar that covers at least the next four weeks. The feed also carries 9 validator errors, the other thing Maps checks at onboarding; the findings below name each fix.
How this agency maps to the standards
A data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Each category shows this feed's score and the standards it relates to: the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement, the MobilityData grading scheme, and the Google Transit gate. Read the full standards crosswalk.
- Correctness 22 / 100
- GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading: stop locations, route names and colors. Google Transit: a feed must pass validation to stay in Maps.
- Freshness 0 / 100
- The FTA National Transit Database expectation of a valid, current feed. Google Transit: an expired calendar drops the agency from Maps.
- Rider experience 52 / 100
- GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading: stop names and headsigns.

This page updates on every check. The record below does not: it is the dated file this grade came from, published at https://gtfsscorecard.org/data/artifacts/fredericksburg-regional-transit/2026-07-09.json and never overwritten, pinning the grade, category scores, rubric version, validator version, and the scored feed's sha256 as they stood on 2026-07-09. Use it in a board packet, an NTD narrative, or a research citation instead of linking the live page, whose content will differ on your next visit.
