Pierce Transit
Grade C · 73.6 / 100
Down 0.4 points since 2026-07-31 (C to C).
What this grade measures
The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes for trip-planning apps: whether riders using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Transit see current, correct, and complete information. It measures the data feed, not service quality or operations.
Progress this period
No newly cleared items this period. The score and trend above reflect where the feed stands today.
What needs attention next
Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:
Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 28 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.
Estimated effort: One export setting.
Review the rule documentation for 'missing_required_agency_id' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Missing required agency id (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Estimated effort: Varies.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.
29915 of 29975 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.
Estimated effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.
