Top three 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.
Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 11 observed fixes).
Check the vehicle positions endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.
The vehicle positions realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.
Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 9 observed fixes).
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
1323 of 1323 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.
NTD certification readiness: Ready
This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

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.
