A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.3, validator 8.0.1.

Checked for changes 73 minutes ago; last changed 8 days ago.

Measured 3 of 4 score categories from the agency's own feed.

How we measured this

Confidence in this measurement: medium.

  • Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
  • The feed was downloaded from the agency's own URL.

Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.Likely your export tool

Service data runs out in 21 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.

⏱ One export setting.worth about +59 points in its category

Fix 02

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

3964 of 3964 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.

⏱ A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.worth about +25 points in its category

How to make and check these changes

Check the result on the published feed. Read the guide, make the change in your tool, and use the next comparable run to see whether the finding is still reported. Only an action or ticket record can attribute who made the change.

  1. Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out. · Read the fix guide

    Make the change. Make this change in whatever tool produces your feed, then re-export.

    Check the result. The next scorecard run checks this finding again. If a comparable check no longer reports it, the feed's clearance log records that result. This confirms feed state, not who made the change. Self-check a feed before you publish.

Rider view: what this feed publishes

A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.

Schedule visibility
The feed's last published service date is in 21 days.
Published accessibility data
Accessibility information is stated for 0% of stops and 100% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
Fare information
Fare information is published using GTFS Fares v2.
Realtime information
Realtime-feed availability and live-arrival coverage are not known from this scorecard.

Important: This does not rate service reliability. Riders should confirm current service alerts, fares, and accessibility accommodations with the transit operator before traveling.

Send your vendor a fix request

You may not control the GTFS export yourself. Copy this and send it to whoever runs your scheduling software export. It names each fix with the validator notice and a guide link.

Send the agency a note

Score by category

Correctness46.5 / 100

The MobilityData validator flagged 11 kinds of issue across 14835 instances (0 error, 14824 warning, 11 informational).

Freshness35.0 / 100

Service data runs out in 21 day(s). Publish an updated feed soon or riders will lose trip planning.

Rider experience73.9 / 100

0% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (0% marked accessible, 0% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is published.

Accessibility37.5 / 100

0% of stops state accessibility (0% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.

2 accessibility depth signals

  • 48 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (21, 22, 26, 28, 29, and more).

    Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.

  • 3855 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("Cylburn Ave & Greenspring Ave", "Lanier Ave & Sinai Hospital", "LANIER AVE & BELVEDERE AVE", and more).

    Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.

Opportunities to strengthen the data, not deductions from the sub-score above. States what the second accessibility lens can check from the feed, not verified physical usability.

FaresFares v2

Fares are applied to trips.

Realtime qualityNot yet measured

This agency publishes realtime, but the feed needs an access key we don't have yet. Nothing here counts against the grade.

Routes and stops

Each route is drawn once, using the longest shape its trips follow; stops are the dots.

This feed has 3964 stops.

Everything we checked

14 findings, ordered by severity.

Show every finding
  • Warning13015 instances

    Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase.

    ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.

    Fix: Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: mixed_case_recommended_field · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning3964 instances

    3964 of 3964 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.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. (A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)

  • Warning1521 instances

    Some scheduled trips move faster between stops than a bus can.

    Usually a typo'd stop time; riders get arrival times no bus can meet.

    Fix: Check the flagged stop times for transposed minutes. (A few minutes per flagged trip.)

    Finding code: fast_travel_between_consecutive_stops · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning199 instances

    Fast travel between far stops (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'fast_travel_between_far_stops' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

    Finding code: fast_travel_between_far_stops · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning50 instances

    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.

    Fix: Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree. (Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.)

    Finding code: stop_too_far_from_shape_using_user_distance · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning18 instances

    On some trips the stops fall along the route line in a different order than the schedule lists.

    Trip planners can draw the bus doubling back or skipping ahead, which confuses riders reading the map.

    Fix: Check the stop order and the shape direction in your scheduling software; the shape is often drawn backwards. (A few minutes per flagged trip.)

    Finding code: stops_match_shape_out_of_order · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning11 instances

    Route short name too long (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'route_short_name_too_long' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

    Finding code: route_short_name_too_long · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning9 instances

    Some stops sit far from the route line they belong to.

    Trip planners may draw the bus route through the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.

    Fix: Check the flagged stops' coordinates and the route shape in your scheduling software; re-snap whichever is misplaced. (A few minutes per flagged stop.)

    Finding code: stop_too_far_from_shape · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning1 instance

    This feed's service calendar runs out within the next 30 days.

    If a new feed isn't published before it ends, trip planners will drop your agency and riders will see no service.

    Fix: Schedule a feed re-export now so the new calendar is live well before the current one ends. (Usually a re-export from your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: feed_expiration_date30_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning1 instance

    Service data runs out in 21 day(s).

    When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.

    Fix: Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out. (One export setting.)

  • Info299 instances

    About 299 stop names are written in ALL CAPS.

    Mixed-case names are easier to read in apps and are read more naturally by screen readers.

    Fix: Rename stops to mixed case where the language has letter case (for example, 'Central Station'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

  • Info5 instances

    Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec.

    Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.

    Fix: Check the flagged column names for misspellings of standard GTFS fields; remove them if they are vendor extras. (A quick look at the flagged files.)

  • Info3 instances

    Some service dates fall outside the date window set in feed_info.txt.

    feed_info.txt should span every day your service runs, so apps know when the data applies.

    Fix: Widen feed_start_date and feed_end_date to cover all service dates, or fix the dates that fall outside. (Two fields in feed_info.txt, or one export setting.)

  • Info3 instances

    The feed includes a file that is not part of the GTFS spec.

    Apps ignore files they don't know, and a stray file can hide a misspelled standard file name.

    Fix: Check the flagged file name for a typo of a standard GTFS file. Remove it if it is a vendor extra. (A quick look at the flagged file.)

Beyond the grade

Opportunities that do not change your grade today: fare detail, on-demand service, and deeper accessibility data.

  • The feed publishes fare products but no fare_media.txt declaring how riders can pay.

    Consider: Add fare_media.txt listing your accepted payment methods, including contactless EMV if riders can tap to pay.

NTD GTFS readiness Needs attention

This feed is close to NTD-ready. Service data runs out in 21 days; renew before you certify.

Published Ready
Published at a public URL.
Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Needs attention
Service data runs out in 21 days; renew before you certify.
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 your NTD ID (optional) Not checked yet
This feed provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk it on the P-50 form. The value does not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID; we do not have that ID on file, so the optional equality comparison is not checked yet.
shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
All 13733 trips have a shape in shapes.txt.

In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed, provide a stable agency_id for each represented reporter, and confirm the feed and P-50 crosswalk each year. This box is a heads-up; your filings are the official check.

A readiness signal mapping this feed to the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement (Report Year 2023 onward: a public, valid, current feed, certified annually on the D-10). For RY2026, each represented reporter needs a stable agency_id, unique within the feed and crosswalked to its five-digit NTD ID on P-50; the values do not need to be equal. FTA also requires shapes.txt in the published GTFS: Full Reporters from Report Year 2025, and Reduced, Rural, and Tribal Reporters from Report Year 2026. Not an official determination; your certification is the official check.

Conformance mark Not yet

This feed is close to the conformance mark. Service data runs out in 21 days; renew to qualify. States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 100% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Valid Met
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Not yet
Service data runs out in 21 days; renew to qualify.
Accessible Not yet
States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 100% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.

A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.

At risk for the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 21 days of service left. Maps needs at least four weeks (28 days) of upcoming service, so your agency will fall out of trip planners soon. Re-export with a longer calendar.

How this agency maps to the standards

The scorecard is a data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Its universal references describe good GTFS and useful rider information. Useful references here are GTFS Schedule Best Practices, GTFS-Realtime Best Practices, MobilityData grading scheme, Google Transit publication guidance, FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement. Read the full standards crosswalk.

Correctness 46 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading covers stop locations, route names, and colors. Google Transit requires a feed to pass validation for publication. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is valid.
Freshness 35 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices call for a dataset that stays current. An expired calendar can remove service from Google Transit and other rider trip planners. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is current.
Rider experience 74 / 100
GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
Realtime quality Access needed to measure
GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.

This page updates on every check. The record below does not: it is the dated file this grade came from, published at https://gtfsscorecard.org/data/artifacts/maryland-transit-administration/2026-08-01.json and never overwritten, pinning the grade, category scores, rubric version, validator version, reader archive profile, and the scored feed's sha256 as they stood on 2026-08-01. Use it in a board packet, a regulatory filing, or a research citation instead of linking the live page, whose content will differ on your next visit.
