Top three things to fix

Service data ended 182 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Check the trip updates endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

Hi Lane Transit District (LTD) team, Service data ended 182 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. This came from your GTFS data quality scorecard, which checks the feed you publish and lists the fixes in plain language: https://gtfsscorecard.org/agency/lane-transit-district-ltd/
NTD GTFS readiness: Not ready
Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. Service data expired 182 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
- Published Ready
- Published at a public URL.
- Valid Ready
- Passes validation with no errors.
- Current Not ready
- Service data expired 182 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
- agency_id provided Ready
- agency.txt provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk each value on the P-50 form.
agency_id equals NTD ID (optional): Different (allowed). Your feed's agency_id is LTD; your National Transit Database ID is 00007. A feed that serves several agencies (a shared regional feed) can legitimately carry more than one agency_id. The values do not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID, so this difference is allowed and carries no score. Confirm that P-50 crosswalks agency_id LTD to NTD ID 00007, and keep the feed value stable. Do not change it solely to make the two values equal.
