Call-prep brief · checked 2026-10-20

Victoria Transit (Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission)

Grade B · 89.2 / 100

First check for this agency, so there is no trend yet.

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

No category changes since the last check.

Top three things to fix

  1. 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.

    Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

  2. 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.

    Effort: Usually one export setting.

  3. 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.

    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.

NTD GTFS readiness: Ready

Published at a public URL, valid, current, and identified with agency_id: the four feed checks for RY2026 all hold here. Only your own D-10 and P-50 filings make that official; this is a heads-up, not a determination.

Published Ready

Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 315 days.
agency_id provided Ready
agency.txt provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk each value on the P-50 form.

agency_id equals NTD ID (optional): Different (allowed). Your feed's agency_id is gcrpc-tx-us; your National Transit Database ID is 60095. A feed that serves several agencies (a shared regional feed) can legitimately carry more than one agency_id. The values do not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID, so this difference is allowed and carries no score. Confirm that P-50 crosswalks agency_id gcrpc-tx-us to NTD ID 60095, and keep the feed value stable. Do not change it solely to make the two values equal.
