Humboldt Transit Authority

What this grade measures

The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes for trip-planning apps: whether riders using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Transit see current, correct, and complete information. It measures the data feed, not service quality or operations.

What needs attention next

Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:

1. Review the rule documentation for 'trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance_below_threshold' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

   Trip distance exceeds shape distance below threshold (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Estimated effort: Varies.

2. Review the rule documentation for 'stop_too_far_from_shape_using_user_distance' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

   Stop too far from shape using user distance (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Estimated effort: Varies.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 6 observed fixes).

3. Check the flagged trips in your scheduling software; remove them or restore their missing stops.

   Some trips serve fewer than two stops. A trip with one stop can't be ridden; planners ignore it and it may signal an export problem.

   Estimated effort: Worth a vendor question if it appears often.
