Call-prep brief · checked 2026-07-09

Mountain View Transportation Management Association (MVgo)

Grade B · 87.1 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-07-08.

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness no change
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

  1. Add feed_info.txt with feed_start_date and feed_end_date to your export.

    feed_info.txt is missing its start/end dates Apps and this scorecard can't warn anyone before the feed goes stale without stated validity dates.

    Effort: Two fields, set once in export settings.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 16 observed fixes).

  2. Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use.

    Some files are missing recommended (not required) fields. Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.

    Effort: A field at a time; not urgent.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 2 weeks (based on 8 observed fixes).

  3. 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.

    Route short name too long (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

NTD certification readiness: Ready

This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

Published Ready
Published at a public URL.
Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 188 days.

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.
