Top three things to fix

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

    1197 of 1492 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 1,197 of 1,492 stops, about 80% of them.

    Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

  2. Drop the short name from route_long_name and keep the long name descriptive, like 'Downtown via 5th Ave'.

    Some route long names repeat the route's short name inside them. Apps show both names together, so riders see the number twice, like '5 5 Downtown'.

    This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.

    Effort: One field per flagged route.

  3. Set trip_headsign to the trip's last stop or its overall destination.

    Some trip headsigns name a stop along the way, not the final destination. The sign should tell riders where the bus ends up, so a midpoint name can send them the wrong way.

    This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.

    Effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.

Riders and need behind these fixes

  • Rider-trip figures come from the United States National Transit Database, which does not cover this feed's country.
  • The served-area need overlays cover the United States and Canada, so none of them applies to this feed.

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