First scorecard for this agency
A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its feed. Not the official Caltrans or Cal-ITP compliance determination. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view. Rubric v1.1, validator 8.0.1.
Top things to fix
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 319 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.
⏱ Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
10 of 10 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.
⏱ A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).
3 of 3 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.
⏱ Often one default setting in your export.

Some files are missing recommended (not required) fields.

- Warning1 instance
Some service calendars in the feed have already expired.
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.)

- Warning1 instance
Many of the feed's trips don't run at all in the next 7 days.
It usually means old service periods are still in the export, making the feed bigger and harder to check.
Fix: Trim past service periods the next time you export. (One setting in most export tools.)

feed_info.txt is missing its start/end dates
Apps and this scorecard can't warn anyone before the feed goes stale without stated validity dates.
Fix: Add feed_info.txt with feed_start_date and feed_end_date to your export. (Two fields, set once in export settings.)

Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec.
Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.
Fix: Check the flagged column names for misspellings of standard GTFS fields; remove them if they are vendor extras. (A quick look at the flagged files.)
