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

Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Authority (PVPTA)’s published feed lists 10 bus routes, 149 scheduled trips and 192 stops. Its service dates run from 2026-10-22 through 2027-01-22. The published file last changed on 2026-10-23.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

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

192 of 192 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 all 192 stops in the feed.

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

Fix 02

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

149 of 149 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 149 trips in the feed.

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

Fix 03

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

Riders and need behind these fixes

  • This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
  • California 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 2026-10-26.

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

Trillium produces and hosts this feed as a service. These changes are made on their side: send the fix list to your Trillium contact and they apply it and republish.

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 is in 83 days.
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.

Freshness100.0 / 100

Service data covers the next 83 days.

Rider experience40.0 / 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.

2 accessibility depth signals

  • 4 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (Orange, Green Eastview, 225, 226).

    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.

  • 160 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("Montemalaga Dr & Basswood Ave - Silver Spur School", "Coronel Plaza - NE Corner", "Via Coronel & Via Castilla", 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.

Everything we checked

7 findings, ordered by severity.

Show every finding
  • Warning192 instances

    192 of 192 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 for scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)

  • Warning149 instances

    149 of 149 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.)

  • Warning109 instances

    Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values.

    Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong streets or point riders to the wrong corner.

    Fix: Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree. (Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.)

    Finding code: stop_too_far_from_shape_using_user_distance · Read the fix guide for stop_too_far_from_shape_using_user_distance · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning48 instances

    48 of 149 trips have no headsign, the text that tells riders where the bus is going. A trip counts when it has trip_headsign or a stop_headsign at every stop.

    When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.

    Fix: Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign. (Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.)

    Finding code: scorecard_missing_headsigns · Read the fix guide for scorecard_missing_headsigns · See GTFS Best Practices (opens GTFS Best Practices on an external site)

  • Warning38 instances

    On some trips the stop distances run a little past the end of the route line.

    The stop and shape distance values don't quite line up, so any math that uses them can drift.

    Fix: Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units. (Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.)

    Finding code: trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance_below_threshold · Read the fix guide for trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance_below_threshold · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • Warning1 instance

    Route short name too long (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

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

    Finding code: route_short_name_too_long · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)

  • 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.)

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
Published at a public URL.
Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 83 days.
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 149 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 0% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Valid Met
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Met
Service data covers the next 83 days.
Accessible Not yet
States wheelchair access on 0% 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.

Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 83 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. Read the full standards crosswalk.

In California, the published guideline is California Transit Data Guidelines. Caltrans' published quality guidelines and compliance checklist; this rubric is anchored to them.

California Minimum GTFS Guidelines checklist (4 of 6 measured items met)

The state's own Data Process Checklist, matched item by item to what this scorecard already measures. An item marked "not measured here" is real ground the checklist covers that this tool does not check; see the official checklist for the full picture.

  • Meets Publish GTFS Schedule at a stable, automatically-fetchable URL

    The published feed URL downloaded at the last check.

  • Not measured here Implement required fields: Fares v2, text-to-speech stop names, shapes.txt, wheelchair_boarding, and Pathways where applicable

    This scorecard measures wheelchair_boarding, shapes.txt coverage, fare data, and station pathways separately, below; it does not check the Fares v2 format specifically or text-to-speech stop names.

  • Not measured here Achieve a passing score in every category of the MobilityData GTFS Grading Scheme v1

    This scorecard automates a proxy for the Grading Scheme's rider-facing fields (see the standards crosswalk) rather than running the scheme itself, which grades by comparison to the real world by hand.

  • Not measured here Publish changes to the base schedule at least one week ahead of every service change

    This scorecard does not track a feed's publish history, so advance notice cannot be checked.

  • Meets Produce no critical errors in the MobilityData GTFS Validator

    Passes validation with no errors.

  • Not measured here Publish Trip Updates, Vehicle Positions, and Alerts feeds

    This scorecard checks realtime reachability and freshness overall; it does not check for all three feed types individually.

  • Not measured here Update Trip Updates and Vehicle Positions at least every 20 seconds

    This scorecard samples realtime freshness; it does not check this specific 20-second cadence.

  • Not measured here Publish information for at least 99% of vehicles in service

    This scorecard measures the share of scheduled trips represented in TripUpdates, a related but different figure than vehicle coverage.

  • Not measured here Keep 100% of trip_ids consistent between Schedule and Realtime

    This scorecard does not currently check trip_id consistency between the Schedule and Realtime feeds.

  • Not measured here Produce no critical errors in the Center for Urban Transportation Research realtime validator

    This scorecard does not run the CUTR realtime validator.

  • Not measured here Publish accessible feed links on the agency or regional partner website

    This scorecard does not check the agency's own website.

  • Not measured here Register GTFS and GTFS-Realtime feeds with transit.land and the Mobility Database

    This scorecard does not currently check aggregator registration for this section.

  • Meets Designate a technical contact in feed_info.txt's feed_contact_email

    feed_info.txt states a technical contact.

  • Gap wheelchair_boarding stated on stops and trips

    States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 0% of trips.

  • Meets shapes.txt with a shape for every trip

    All 149 trips have a shape in shapes.txt.

  • Gap Fare data published, or the service marked fare-free

    No fare data is published.

Correctness 82 / 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 100 / 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 40 / 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.

This page updates on every check. The record below does not: it is the dated file this grade came from, published at https://gtfsscorecard.org/data/artifacts/palos-verdes-peninsula-transit-authority-pvpta/2026-10-31.json and never overwritten, pinning the grade, category scores, rubric version, validator version, reader archive profile, and the scored feed's sha256 as they stood on 2026-10-31. Use it in a board packet, a regulatory filing, or a research citation instead of linking the live page, whose content will differ on your next visit.
