Top three things to fix
Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.
Service data ended 269 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).
88 of 88 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.
Effort: Often one default setting in your export.
Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed.
Some service calendars in the feed have already expired. Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.
Effort: One setting in most export tools.
Ready to send to the agency
Hi Emerald Bay Shuttle team, Service data ended 269 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. This came from your GTFS data quality scorecard, which checks the feed you publish and lists the fixes in plain language: https://gtfsscorecard.org/agency/keep-tahoe-blue-2876/
NTD GTFS readiness: Not ready
Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. Service data expired 258 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
- Published Ready
- Published at a public URL.
- Valid Ready
- Passes validation with no errors.
- Current Not ready
- Service data expired 258 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
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.
