Top three things to fix

1. Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.

   Service data runs out in 16 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.

   Effort: One export setting.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 61 observed fixes).

2. Review the rule documentation for 'trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

   Trip distance exceeds shape distance (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Effort: Varies.

3. Review the rule documentation for 'equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

   Equal shape distance diff coordinates (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
