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 1.6
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

  1. Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.

    Service data runs out in 16 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.

    Effort: One export setting.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 61 observed fixes).

  2. Re-generate shape distances in your export; flag to your vendor if it persists.

    Some trips have stop times whose distances along the route go backwards. Apps can show buses jumping backwards or mis-order stops.

    Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.

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

    512 of 512 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.

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