A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.3, validator 8.0.1.

Checked for changes 72 minutes ago; last changed 41 days ago.

Measured 3 of 4 score categories from the agency's own feed.

How we measured this

Confidence in this measurement: medium.

  • Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
  • The feed was downloaded from the agency's own URL.

Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.Likely your export tool

Service data ended 2262 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

⏱ Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.worth about +100 points in its category

Fix 02

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

Stop time timepoint without times (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

⏱ Varies.worth about +24 points in its category

Fix 03

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

125 of 125 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.

⏱ A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.worth about +25 points in its category

This feed is published from a code repository, so whoever maintains that repository regenerates the zip — often planning staff or a consultant. The fix happens in the source data, then a fresh export is committed.

Rider view: what this feed publishes

A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.

Schedule visibility
The feed's last published service date was 2262 days ago.
Published accessibility data
Accessibility information is stated for 0% of stops and 0% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
Fare information
No fare information is published in the feed.
Realtime information
Realtime-feed availability and live-arrival coverage are not known from this scorecard.

Important: This does not rate service reliability. Riders should confirm current service alerts, fares, and accessibility accommodations with the transit operator before traveling.

Score by category

Correctness52.5 / 100

The MobilityData validator flagged 9 kinds of issue across 429 instances (410 error, 15 warning, 4 informational).

Freshness0.0 / 100

Service data ended 2262 day(s) ago. Trip planners have likely already dropped this feed.

Rider experience37.5 / 100

0% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (0% marked accessible, 0% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is not published.

Accessibility0 / 100

0% of stops state accessibility (0% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.

    Stop time timepoint without times (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'stop_time_timepoint_without_times' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

    Finding code: stop_time_timepoint_without_times · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Error1 instance

    Service data ended 2262 day(s) ago.

    When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

    Fix: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. (Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.)

    Finding code: scorecard_feed_expired · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices

  • Warning1138 instances

    1138 of 1138 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.

    Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip. (A default or per-trip field in your export.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_accessible_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference

  • Warning125 instances

    125 of 125 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.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. (A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference

  • Warning10 instances

    Some service calendars in the feed have already ended.

    Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.

    Fix: Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed. (One setting in most export tools.)

    Finding code: expired_calendar · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning2 instances

    Some files leave out fields that GTFS asks for but does not require.

    Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.

    Fix: Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use. (A field at a time; not urgent.)

    Finding code: missing_recommended_field · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    This feed's service calendar runs out within the next 7 days.

    When the calendar ends, Google Maps and other trip planners drop your agency entirely. Riders see no service at all.

    Fix: Export and publish an updated GTFS feed that covers at least the next 30 days of service. (Usually a re-export from your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: feed_expiration_date7_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    feed_info.txt lists no contact email and no contact URL.

    Without a contact, apps like Google Maps can't reach you when they find a problem in the feed.

    Fix: Add feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url to feed_info.txt. (One field, set once in export settings.)

    Finding code: missing_feed_contact_email_and_url · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    Many of the feed's trips don't run at all in the next 7 days.

    It usually means old service periods are still in the export, making the feed bigger and harder to check.

    Fix: Trim past service periods the next time you export. (One setting in most export tools.)

    Finding code: trip_coverage_not_active_for_next7_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    The feed contains no fare information.

    Riders see 'fare unknown' in trip planners and can't budget their trip; visitors are most affected.

    Fix: Add fare_attributes.txt (or Fares v2 files) with your fare structure. If your service is fare-free, ask to have it marked fare-free instead. (A small file for most flat-fare systems.)

    Finding code: scorecard_no_fare_data · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices

  • Info2 instances

    Some service dates fall outside the date window set in feed_info.txt.

    feed_info.txt should span every day your service runs, so apps know when the data applies.

    Fix: Widen feed_start_date and feed_end_date to cover all service dates, or fix the dates that fall outside. (Two fields in feed_info.txt, or one export setting.)

    Finding code: service_window_outside_feed_period · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Info1 instance

    Feed valid beyond total service window (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'feed_valid_beyond_total_service_window' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

    Finding code: feed_valid_beyond_total_service_window · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Info1 instance

    Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec.

    Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.

    Fix: Check the flagged column names for misspellings of standard GTFS fields; remove them if they are vendor extras. (A quick look at the flagged files.)

    Finding code: unknown_column · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Info1 instance

    feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url).

    Trip-planning apps and regional data coordinators have nobody to email when they spot a problem with your feed, so problems linger.

    Fix: Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt. (One field.)

    Finding code: scorecard_no_feed_contact · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

NTD GTFS readiness Not ready

Current Not ready
Service data expired 2262 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
agency_id provided Ready
agency.txt provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk each value on the P-50 form.
agency_id equals your NTD ID (optional) Not checked yet
This feed provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk it on the P-50 form. The value does not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID; we do not have that ID on file, so the optional equality comparison is not checked yet.
shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
All 1138 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, provide a stable agency_id for each represented reporter, and confirm the feed and P-50 crosswalk each year. This box is a heads-up; your filings are the official check.

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). For RY2026, each represented reporter needs a stable agency_id, unique within the feed and crosswalked to its five-digit NTD ID on P-50; the values do not need to be equal. FTA also 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.

How this agency maps to the standards

The scorecard is a data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Its universal references describe good GTFS and useful rider information. Useful references here are GTFS Schedule Best Practices, GTFS-Realtime Best Practices, MobilityData grading scheme, Google Transit publication guidance, FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement. Read the full standards crosswalk.

Correctness 52 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading covers stop locations, route names, and colors. Google Transit requires a feed to pass validation for publication. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is valid.
Freshness 0 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices call for a dataset that stays current. An expired calendar can remove service from Google Transit and other rider trip planners. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is current.
Rider experience 38 / 100
GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
Realtime quality Not yet published
GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.
