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
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.
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.
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
- Published at a public URL.
- 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.
