Down 0.3 points since 2026-07-31 (C to C).

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 down 1.7
  • Rider experience no change
  • Realtime quality no change

Top three things to fix

  1. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

    1116 of 1116 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.

  2. Add fare_attributes.txt (or Fares v2 files) with your fare structure. If your service is fare-free, ask to have it marked fare-free instead.

    The feed contains no fare information. Riders see 'fare unknown' in trip planners and can't budget their trip; visitors are most affected.

    Effort: A small file for most flat-fare systems.

  3. Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree.

    Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values. Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.

    Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.
