Top three things to fix
Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 23 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
Effort: One export setting.
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.
Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE').
Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase. ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.
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: Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
- Washington 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 2026-10-05.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
