What changed since the last check

• Correctness no change
• Freshness no change
• Rider experience no change
• Realtime quality no change

Top three things to fix

1. Check the vehicle positions endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

   The vehicle positions realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.

   Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 9 observed fixes).

2. Check with your AVL vendor that every vehicle assignment flows into TripUpdates, including school-day and tripper runs.

   2 of 2 trips scheduled during the sampling window had no live predictions. Riders on those trips get schedule data dressed up as realtime. Caltrans expects every operating trip in TripUpdates.

   Effort: A vendor data-mapping question.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 84 observed fixes).

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

   723 of 723 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).

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 542 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.
