Victoria Transit (Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission)
Grade B · 89.2 / 100
First check for this agency, so there is no trend yet.
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:
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
164 of 164 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 164 stops in the feed.
Estimated effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Turn on shape cleanup in your export tool, or drop the repeated points from shapes.txt.
Some route lines list the same point twice in a row. Repeated points don't hurt riders, but they can skew distance math and hint at a shaky export.
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: Usually one export setting.
Set trip_headsign to the trip's last stop or its overall destination.
Some trip headsigns name a stop along the way, not the final destination. The sign should tell riders where the bus ends up, so a midpoint name can send them the wrong way.
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: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- More than one feed record claims this National Transit Database reporter, so its rider-trips are held back rather than counted against any single feed.
- Texas 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 2026-10-19.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
