  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

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

    22 of 22 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.

  2. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).

    138 of 138 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: Often one default setting in your export.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

  3. Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE').

    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.

    Effort: Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
