Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (Greater Dayton RTA)

What changed since the last check

• Correctness no change
• Freshness down 1.6
• Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

1. 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.

   Effort: Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.

2. Enable 'remove unused shapes' (or similar) in your export tool.

   The feed contains route shapes no trip uses. Harmless to riders, but it bloats the feed and suggests stale export data.

   Effort: One setting.

3. Remove retired stops from the export, or add them back to the trips that should serve them.

   Some stops exist in the feed but no trip ever stops at them. Riders may walk to a stop where no bus is scheduled to arrive.

   Effort: A review pass in your scheduling software.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 11 observed fixes).

NTD certification readiness: Ready

This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

Published Ready

Published at a public URL.

Valid Ready

Passes validation with no errors.

Current Ready

Service data covers the next 70 days.

agency_id and 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.
