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.

   1155 of 1155 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. Populate trip_headsign to match what the transit vehicle displays.

   127903 of 128144 trips have no headsign. Riders at the stop can't tell which direction a transit vehicle is going.

   Effort: Usually a bulk edit in your scheduling software.
