Call-prep brief · checked 2026-07-09

Pensacola Bay City Ferry

Grade A · 96.5 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-07-08.

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

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness no change
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

  1. Check the flagged stops' coordinates and the route shape in your scheduling software; re-snap whichever is misplaced.

    Some stops sit far from the route line they belong to. Trip planners may draw the bus route through the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.

    Effort: A few minutes per flagged stop.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 2 weeks (based on 6 observed fixes).

  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.

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

Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 126 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.
