• Correctness down 6.0
• Freshness no change
• Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

1. Add feed_start_date and feed_end_date to feed_info.txt and include calendar end dates in your export.

   Neither feed_info.txt nor the calendars state when service ends. Nobody can tell when this feed will go stale.

   Effort: Likely a one-time export setting.

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

   1016 of 1016 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.

3. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.

   5657 of 5657 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the transit vehicle itself can take them.

   Effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.
