Top three things to fix
Add the required column named in the finding to the flagged file.
A file is missing a column that GTFS requires. Apps may reject the whole file, so riders could lose the affected routes or stops.
Effort: Often an export setting; ask your vendor if it recurs.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
819 of 819 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.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.
2495 of 2495 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: A default or per-trip field in your export.
