Top three things to fix
Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.
Service data ended 1286 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).
Review the rule documentation for 'missing_required_column' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Missing required column (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Effort: Varies.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
6 of 6 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.
Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
