Interurban Trolley

Grade B · 85.2 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-10-06.

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

    399 of 399 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.

    Fixing this covers all 399 stops in the feed.

    Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

  2. Turn on shape cleanup in your export tool, or drop the repeated points from shapes.txt.

    Some route lines list the same point twice in a row. Repeated points don't hurt riders, but they can skew distance math and hint at a shaky export.

    This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.

    Effort: Usually one export setting.

Riders and need behind these fixes

  • This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
  • Indiana as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-05.

These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.

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.
