Call-prep brief · checked 2026-07-09

Roaring Fork Transportation Authority

Grade B · 84.6 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-07-08.

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness no change
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

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

    211 of 211 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.

  2. Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed.

    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.

    Effort: One setting in most export tools.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 61 observed fixes).

  3. Enable 'remove unused shapes' (or similar) 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.

    Effort: One setting.

NTD certification readiness: Ready

This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

Published Ready

Valid Ready
Passes validation with no errors.
Current Ready
Service data covers the next 85 days.

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.
