Top three things to fix

1. Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.

   Service data ended 190 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

   Effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).

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

   1214 of 1214 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. Populate trip_headsign to match what the bus displays.

   1214 of 1214 trips have no headsign. Riders at the stop can't tell which direction a bus is going.

   Effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.

Ready to send to the agency

Hi Qline Detroit team, Service data ended 190 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. Your feed is produced by Trillium, so the quickest path is usually forwarding this to your Trillium contact. This came from your GTFS data quality scorecard, which checks the feed you publish and lists the fixes in plain language: https://gtfsscorecard.org/agency/qline-detroit-802/

NTD certification readiness: Not ready

Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. Service data expired 181 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

Published Ready

Published at a public URL.

Valid Ready

Passes validation with no errors.

Current Not ready

Service data expired 181 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

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.
