A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.3, validator 8.0.1.
Checked for changes 30 hours ago; last changed 3 days ago.
Measured 4 of 4 score categories from the feed URL on file (publisher not verified).
How we measured this
Confidence in this measurement: high.
- All four score categories were measured this run.
- Realtime was sampled in one bounded window of 6 snapshots.
- The feed was downloaded from the configured feed URL. Publisher ownership of that URL is not verified.
Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.
Top things to fix
Check the trip updates endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.
The trip updates realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.
⏱ Usually a vendor support ticket.worth about +50 points in its category
Check the vehicle positions endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

Rider view: what this feed publishes
A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.
- Schedule visibility
- The feed's last published service date is in 111 days.
- Published accessibility data
- Accessibility information is stated for 0% of stops; trip coverage is not known. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
- Fare information
- Fare information is published using GTFS Fares v1.
- Realtime information
- No realtime feed was reachable during sampling.
Important: This does not rate service reliability. Riders should confirm current service alerts, fares, and accessibility accommodations with the transit operator before traveling.

You may not control the GTFS export yourself. Copy this and send it to whoever runs your scheduling software export. It names each fix with the validator notice and a guide link.
Score by category
The MobilityData validator flagged 2 kinds of issue across 10 instances (8 error, 2 warning, 0 informational).
Service data covers the next 111 days.
0% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (0% marked accessible, 0% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is published.
0% of stops state accessibility (0% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.
2 accessibility depth signals
1 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (576).
Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.
2195 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("50th St @ Palm River Rd", "Nebraska Av @ Twiggs St", "Nebraska Ave @ Cass St", and more).
Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.
Opportunities to strengthen the data, not deductions from the sub-score above. States what the second accessibility lens can check from the feed, not verified physical usability.
Fares are applied to trips.
Sampled 6 times outside service hours: 0 of 2 configured feeds healthy; vehicle position plausibility was not measurable.

What changed over time
On 2026-08-06 this feed started at grade F. On 2026-09-01 the grade moved from F to D. On 2026-08-10 feed renewed to a current calendar. On 2026-09-13 the check no longer reported: some service calendars in the feed have already ended; this feed's service calendar runs out within the next 30 days; service data runs out in 8 day(s); 10884 of 10884 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible; some stops sit far from the route line they belong to; some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values. As of 2026-09-13 it holds grade D.
A plain-language history of this feed, newest first.
- 2026-09-01 Grade went F to D, correctness rose 18 points.

Empty column name (flagged by the MobilityData validator).
See the linked rule for what this affects.
Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'empty_column_name' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

- Error1 instance
The trip updates realtime feed failed during sampling.
When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.
Fix: Check the trip updates endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request. (Usually a vendor support ticket.)

- Warning2241 instances
2241 of 2241 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.
Fix: Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. (A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.)
Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · Read the fix guide for scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)
- Warning2 instances
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.
Fix: Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

NTD GTFS readiness Needs attention
This feed is close to NTD-ready. 1 validator error to resolve.
- Published Ready
- Published at a public URL.
- Valid Needs attention
- 1 validator error to resolve.
- Current Ready
- Service data covers the next 111 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 your NTD ID (optional) Not checked yet
- This feed provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk it on the P-50 form. The value does not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID; we do not have that ID on file, so the optional equality comparison is not checked yet.
- shapes.txt covers your trips Not checked yet
- trips.txt has no rows, so shape coverage could not be checked.
In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed, provide a stable agency_id for each represented reporter, and confirm the feed and P-50 crosswalk each year. This box is a heads-up; your filings are the official check.
A readiness signal mapping this feed to the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement (Report Year 2023 onward: a public, valid, current feed, certified annually on the D-10). For RY2026, each represented reporter needs a stable agency_id, unique within the feed and crosswalked to its five-digit NTD ID on P-50; the values do not need to be equal. FTA also requires shapes.txt in the published GTFS: Full Reporters from Report Year 2025, and Reduced, Rural, and Tribal Reporters from Report Year 2026. Not an official determination; your certification is the official check.
Conformance mark Not yet
Two requirements remain for this feed to earn the conformance mark. 1 validator error to resolve. Accessibility completeness has not been measured.
- Valid Not yet
- 1 validator error to resolve.
- Current Met
- Service data covers the next 111 days.
- Accessible Not yet
- Accessibility completeness has not been measured.
In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.
A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.
Realtime reliability
The realtime feed responded on 0.0% of 200 checks in the 31 days to 2026-09-15, with lag not reported by the feed.
Sampled on a schedule between full scores, so this tracks uptime and freshness over time rather than at a single moment. The window ends at the newest observation, which is not always today: if the monitor stops, this window stops with it.
Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 109 days of service ahead, clearing the four-week (28-day) window Maps asks for. The feed also carries 8 validator errors, the other thing Maps checks at onboarding; the findings below name each fix.
How this agency maps to the standards
The scorecard is a data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Its universal references describe good GTFS and useful rider information. Useful references here are GTFS Schedule Best Practices, GTFS-Realtime Best Practices, MobilityData grading scheme, Google Transit publication guidance, FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement. Read the full standards crosswalk.
- Correctness 78 / 100
- GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading covers stop locations, route names, and colors. Google Transit requires a feed to pass validation for publication. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is valid.
- Freshness 100 / 100
- GTFS Schedule best practices call for a dataset that stays current. An expired calendar can remove service from Google Transit and other rider trip planners. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is current.
- Rider experience 64 / 100
- GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
- Realtime quality 0 / 100
- GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.
