A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.4, validator 8.0.1.
Checked for changes 32 minutes ago; last changed 92 days ago; last fetch returned HTTP 404.
Measured 4 of 4 score categories from the Mobility Database's mirror copy of the feed.
How we measured this
Confidence in this measurement: medium.
- All four score categories were measured this run.
- Realtime was sampled in one bounded window of 9 snapshots.
- The configured feed URL was unreachable, so the Mobility Database's hosted mirror copy was scored instead. Publisher ownership of the configured 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
Port Authority of Allegheny County’s published feed lists 102 routes (rail, bus and funicular), 18,817 scheduled trips and 6,388 stops. Its service dates run from 2026-06-28 through 2026-10-14. It publishes realtime trip updates, vehicle positions and service alerts; when we checked, all of them answered. The published file last changed on 2026-07-07.
Top things to fix
Correct feed_end_date in feed_info.txt. Set it to 2026-10-24, the last day in your calendar, or to the last day your schedule is reliable.Likely your export tool
feed_info.txt says this feed ends on 2026-10-14. Your service calendar runs to 2026-10-24. The GTFS standard tells apps to trust a feed only up to its end date. So apps may stop showing your service on the earlier date, even though the calendar goes on.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
⏱ One field in feed_info.txt, often an export setting.worth about +73 points in its category
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
6388 of 6388 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 6,388 stops in the feed.
⏱ A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.worth about +25 points in its category
Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE').Likely your export tool
Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase. ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.
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.
⏱ Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.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.
- Pennsylvania 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.

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 7 days.
- Published accessibility data
- Accessibility information is stated for 0% of stops and 100% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
- Fare information
- Fare information is published using GTFS Fares v1.
- Realtime information
- Live-arrival data covered 81.2% of scheduled trips in the sampled window.
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
The MobilityData validator flagged 8 kinds of issue across 42683 instances (0 error, 24333 warning, 18350 informational).
Your feed_info end date, 2026-10-14, is earlier than your service calendar, which runs to 2026-10-24. The feed is read as ending on that earlier date, in 7 day(s).
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 published.
0% of stops state accessibility (0% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.
2 accessibility depth signals
23 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (1, 12, 26, 28X, 29, and more).
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.
6257 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("KEEPORT DR + YOUNGRIDGE", "BROWNSVILLE RD + NOBLES LN", "BROWNSVILLE RD + THE BOULEVARD", 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.
Fares are applied to trips.
Sampled 9 times: 3 of 3 configured feeds healthy; 81.2% of scheduled trips had live predictions; 98.9% of vehicles on their route; predictions ran a median of 147s behind schedule.

Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase.
ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.
Fix: Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

6388 of 6388 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.)

- Warning43 instances
43 of 229 trips scheduled during the sampling window had no live predictions.
Riders on those trips get schedule times labeled as live. Caltrans asks that every trip you run shows up in TripUpdates.
Fix: Ask your AVL vendor to check that every vehicle assignment reaches TripUpdates. School-day and tripper runs are the ones most often left out. (A vendor data-mapping question.)

The feed contains route shapes no trip uses.
Harmless to riders, but it bloats the feed and suggests stale export data.
Fix: Turn on 'remove unused shapes' (or the like) in your export tool. (One setting.)

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 (opens the validator rules on an external site)
- Warning4 instances
Some service calendars in the feed have already ended.
Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.
Fix: Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed. (One setting in most export tools.)

- Warning2 instances
Some files leave out fields that GTFS asks for but does not require.
Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.
Fix: Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use. (A field at a time; not urgent.)

- Warning1 instance
feed_info.txt lists no contact email and no contact URL.
Without a contact, apps like Google Maps can't reach you when they find a problem in the feed.
Fix: Add feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url to feed_info.txt. (One field, set once in export settings.)
Finding code: missing_feed_contact_email_and_url · Read the fix guide for missing_feed_contact_email_and_url · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
- Warning1 instance
feed_info.txt says this feed ends on 2026-10-14. Your service calendar runs to 2026-10-24.
The GTFS standard tells apps to trust a feed only up to its end date. So apps may stop showing your service on the earlier date, even though the calendar goes on.
Fix: Correct feed_end_date in feed_info.txt. Set it to 2026-10-24, the last day in your calendar, or to the last day your schedule is reliable. (One field in feed_info.txt, often an export setting.)

Unsorted stop times (flagged by the MobilityData validator).
See the linked rule for what this affects.
Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'unsorted_stop_times' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

- Info6366 instances
About 6366 stop names are written in ALL CAPS.
Mixed-case names are easier to read in apps and are read more naturally by screen readers.
Fix: Rename stops to mixed case where the language has letter case (for example, 'Central Station'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

- Info6 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 (opens the validator rules on an external site)
- Info1 instance
feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url).
App makers and state data programs have nobody to email when they spot a problem. Small errors then sit in the feed for months.
Fix: Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt. (One field.)

NTD GTFS readiness Needs attention
This feed is close to NTD-ready. Service data runs out in 7 days; renew before you certify.
- Published Ready
- Published at a public URL.
- Valid Ready
- Passes validation with no errors.
- Current Needs attention
- Service data runs out in 7 days; renew before you certify.
- 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 Needs attention
- 17870 of 18817 trips have a shape; 947 do not. Fill in shapes.txt and trips.shape_id for the remaining trips so every trip has a path. Reduced, Rural, and Tribal NTD reporters need full coverage by Report Year 2026.
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
Two requirements remain for this feed to earn the conformance mark. Service data runs out in 7 days; renew to qualify. States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 100% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.
- Valid Met
- Passes validation with no errors.
- Current Not yet
- Service data runs out in 7 days; renew to qualify.
- Accessible Not yet
- States wheelchair access on 0% of stops and 100% 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.
Realtime reliability
The realtime feed responded on 100.0% of 200 checks in the 25 days to 2026-10-07, with 31s median lag.
Sampled on a schedule between full scores, so this tracks uptime and freshness over time rather than at a single moment. The window ends at the newest observation, which is not always today: if the monitor stops, this window stops with it.
Live predictions vs schedule
Arrival predictions ran a median 147s late versus the schedule, and stayed within 595s nine times in ten. They were on time (about a minute early to five late) 63.6% of the time. 98.9% of reported vehicle positions sat on or near the published route shape.
From the last full realtime sample: how far live arrival predictions sat from the schedule, and whether vehicle positions fell on the route. These feed the realtime score; they change no other category.
At risk for the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 7 days of service left. Maps needs at least four weeks (28 days) of upcoming service, so your agency will fall out of trip planners soon. Re-export with a longer calendar.
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.
- Correctness 66 / 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 12 / 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 53 / 100
- GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
- Realtime quality 93 / 100

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/port-authority-of-allegheny-county/2026-10-07.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 2026-10-07.
