What changed since the last check

No category changes since the last check.

Top three things to fix

1. Ask your AVL vendor why the feed stopped advancing; the GTFS-Realtime header timestamp should move forward on every publish.

   The realtime feed's last update was about 2 hours old when sampled. A realtime feed this far behind has effectively stopped. Riders see buses that already left, or apps quietly fall back to the schedule while still showing a live label.

   Effort: A vendor support ticket; treat it as a feed outage.

2. Review the rule documentation for 'foreign_key_violation' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

   Foreign key violation (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Effort: Varies.

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

   112 of 112 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.
