Everything we checked

Beyond the grade

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

Some fixes we can make for you

These are the safe mechanical fixes, applied to a copy of your feed. They change only what is certain and leave everything else untouched. Review the diff before you publish.

Run it yourself on your own copy of the feed: scorecard autofix <feed.zip> --out corrected.zip

NTD certification readiness Ready

Published at a public URL, valid, and current: the three things the NTD GTFS requirement asks of a feed all hold here. Only your own D-10 certification makes that official; this is a heads-up, not a determination.

Published Ready
Published at a public URL.
Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 58 days.
agency_id matches your NTD ID Not aligned
Your feed's agency_id is 3, 1; your National Transit Database ID is 10003. A feed that serves several agencies (a shared regional feed) can legitimately carry more than one agency_id, so a difference here is a heads-up, not an error. Optionally set the agency_id for your service to 10003 in agency.txt (and the matching agency_id in routes.txt) so the feed lines up with your NTD record. It is a convenience, not a required feed change: FTA also links agency_id to your NTD ID on your P-50 form.
shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
All 112578 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 and confirm it once a year. This box is a heads-up on whether yours looks ready; it is not the official sign-off.

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). Aligning agency_id with your NTD ID lets the feed line up with your NTD record; the July 2025 final rule links the two on the P-50 form rather than requiring that feed change, and 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 Awarded

This feed earns the conformance mark: valid, current, and stating wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip.

GTFS conformance mark for Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)

Valid Met
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Met
Service data covers the next 58 days.
Accessible Met
States wheelchair access on 95% of stops and 100% of trips.

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.

Can riders use it?

Checks beyond structural validation: places where the feed is valid but a rider still could not travel.

These do not change the grade. They catch trips with no rideable leg and stops no trip serves, the kind of gap a trip planner trips over.

Realtime reliability

The realtime feed responded on 100.0% of 106 checks over the last 16 days, with 3s median lag.

Sampled on a schedule between full scores, so this tracks uptime and freshness over time rather than at a single moment.

Prediction accuracy

Arrival predictions ran a median 58s late versus the schedule, and stayed within 546s nine times in ten. They were on time (about a minute early to five late) 57.4% of the time. 98.7% of reported vehicle positions sat on or near the published route shape.

From the last full realtime sample: how far live arrival predictions sat from the schedule, and whether vehicle positions fell on the route. These feed the realtime score; they change no other category.

Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 58 days of service ahead, clearing the four-week (28-day) window Maps asks for. No validator errors either, so riders keep seeing this agency in their trip planners; warnings lower the grade here but do not remove a feed from Maps.

How this agency maps to the standards

A data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Each category shows this feed's score and the standards it relates to: the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement, the MobilityData grading scheme, and the Google Transit gate. Read the full standards crosswalk.

Correctness 34 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading: stop locations, route names and colors. Google Transit: a feed must pass validation to stay in Maps.
Freshness 97 / 100
The FTA National Transit Database expectation of a valid, current feed. Google Transit: an expired calendar drops the agency from Maps.
Rider experience 99 / 100
GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading: stop names and headsigns.
Realtime quality 97 / 100
GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.

Cite this record

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/massachusetts-bay-transportation-authority-mbta/2026-07-09.json and never overwritten, pinning the grade, category scores, rubric version, validator version, and the scored feed's sha256 as they stood on 2026-07-09. Use it in a board packet, an NTD narrative, or a research citation instead of linking the live page, whose content will differ on your next visit.
