Top three things to fix

1. Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.

   Service data ended 93 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.

2. Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree.

   Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values. Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.

   Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.

3. Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed.

   Some service calendars in the feed have already ended. Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.

   Effort: One setting in most export tools.

Ready to send to the agency

Hi Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority team, Service data ended 93 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/livermore-amador-valley-transit-authority/

Copy this note from the full scorecard.

NTD GTFS readiness: Not ready

Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. Service data expired 93 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

Published Ready

Valid Ready

Passes validation with no errors.

Current Not ready

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 lavta-ca-us; your National Transit Database ID is 90144. 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 lavta-ca-us to NTD ID 90144, and keep the feed value stable. Do not change it solely to make the two values equal.

The bar this score answers to
