Top three things to fix
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.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
111 of 111 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.
146 of 146 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.
