KU on Wheels & Lawrence Transit System

What changed since the last check

• Correctness no change
• Freshness no change
• Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

1. Populate trip_headsign to match what the bus displays.

   1943 of 1943 trips have no headsign. Riders at the stop can't tell which direction a bus is going.

   Effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.

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

   192 of 440 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: Needs attention

Current Needs attention

Service data runs out in 30 days; renew before you certify.

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.
