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 configured feed URL. Publisher ownership of that URL is not verified.

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

About this feed

Pacific Transit’s published feed lists 7 bus routes, 253 scheduled trips and 53 stops. Its service dates run from 2026-09-24 through 2027-02-01. The published file last changed on 2026-10-06.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.Likely your export tool

253 of 253 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

Fixing this covers all 253 trips in the feed.

⏱ A default or per-trip field in your export.worth about +15 points in its category

Fix 02

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.

The feed contains no fare information. Riders see 'fare unknown' in trip planners and can't budget their trip; visitors are most affected.

This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.

⏱ A small file for most flat-fare systems.worth about +15 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

16 of 53 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.

Fixing this covers 16 of 53 stops, about 30% of them.

⏱ A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.worth about +8 points in its category

Riders and need behind these fixes

  • This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
  • Washington as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-05.

These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.

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

Schedule visibility
The feed's last published service date is in 117 days.
Published accessibility data
Accessibility information is stated for 69.8% 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

Correctness88.0 / 100

The MobilityData validator flagged 5 kinds of issue across 55 instances (0 error, 11 warning, 44 informational).

Freshness100.0 / 100

Service data covers the next 117 days.

Rider experience62.5 / 100

70% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (64% marked accessible, 6% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is not published.

Accessibility43.6 / 100

70% of stops state accessibility (64% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.

2 accessibility depth signals

  • 4 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (Blue, Red, Yellow, Orange).

    Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.

  • 12 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("Nahcotta / 270th", "Alder & Co", "Fowler & 101", and more).

    Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.

Opportunities to strengthen the data, not deductions from the sub-score above. States what the second accessibility lens can check from the feed, not verified physical usability.

  • Warning253 instances

    253 of 253 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.)

  • Warning16 instances

    16 of 53 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.)

  • Warning10 instances

    Some stops exist in the feed but no trip ever stops at them.

    Riders may walk to a stop where no bus is scheduled to arrive.

    Fix: Remove retired stops from the export, or add them back to the trips that should serve them. (A review pass in your scheduling software.)

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

  • Warning1 instance

    Some route colors don't contrast with their text color.

    Route badges get hard to read, most of all for riders with low vision.

    Fix: Pick a darker/lighter route_text_color for the flagged routes. (One field per route.)

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

  • Warning1 instance

    This feed offers flexible service that riders book ahead, but it has no booking_rules.txt.

    Riders can see the service area but not how or when to book a trip. Without that, they can't use the service.

    Fix: Add booking_rules.txt saying how far ahead and how to book (phone, app, or web). (A small file; one rule often covers the whole service.)

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

  • Info34 instances

    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 for unknown_column · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Info8 instances

    The feed includes a file that is not part of the GTFS spec.

    Apps ignore files they don't know, and a stray file can hide a misspelled standard file name.

    Fix: Check the flagged file name for a typo of a standard GTFS file. Remove it if it is a vendor extra. (A quick look at the flagged file.)

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

  • 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 for service_window_outside_feed_period · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

Beyond the grade

Opportunities that do not change your grade today: fare detail, on-demand service, and deeper accessibility data.

  • Flex zones are published but no booking_rules.txt is present.

    Consider: Add booking_rules.txt with how far ahead and how to reserve (phone, app, or web).

NTD GTFS readiness Ready

Published at a public URL, valid, current, and identified with agency_id: the four feed checks for RY2026 all hold here. Only your own D-10 and P-50 filings make that official; this is a heads-up, not a determination.

Published Ready

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 253 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.

Conformance mark Not yet

One requirement remains for this feed to earn the conformance mark. States wheelchair access on 70% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Current Met

Accessible Not yet
States wheelchair access on 70% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.

A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.

Can riders use it?

Checks beyond structural validation: places where the feed is valid but a rider still could not travel.

  • 10 of 53 boardable stops are never served by any trip. Riders see these stops in apps and on the map but can never catch anything there, which erodes trust in the data. Remove stops no route serves, or add the trips that should call at them.

These do not change the grade. They catch trips with no rideable leg and stops no trip serves, the kind of gap a trip planner trips over.

Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 117 days of service ahead, clearing the four-week (28-day) window Maps asks for. No validator errors either, so riders keep seeing this agency in their trip planners; warnings lower the grade here but do not remove a feed from Maps.

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.
