What this grade measures

The quality of the schedule data in the feed scored here for trip-planning apps: whether riders using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Transit see current, correct, and complete information. It measures the data feed, not service quality or operations.

Progress this period

No newly cleared items this period. The score and trend above reflect where the feed stands today.

What needs attention next

Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:

Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
200 of 200 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.
Fixing this covers all 200 stops in the feed.
Estimated effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Turn on 'remove unused shapes' (or the like) in your export tool.
The feed contains route shapes no trip uses. Harmless to riders, but it bloats the feed and suggests stale export data.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: One setting.
Add feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url to feed_info.txt.
feed_info.txt lists no contact email and no contact URL. Without a contact, apps like Google Maps can't reach you when they find a problem in the feed.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: One field, set once in export settings.

Riders and need behind these fixes

This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
Colorado as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-05.
