Grade C · 79.7 / 100

Down 0.4 points since 2026-07-08 (B to C).

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness down 1.7
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

  1. 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.

    Effort: Varies.

  2. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).

    33882 of 33948 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

    Effort: Often one default setting in your export.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

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

    Trip distance exceeds shape distance below threshold (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
