Top three things to fix
Review the rule documentation for 'equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates_distance_below_threshold' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Equal shape distance diff coordinates distance below threshold (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Effort: Varies.
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.
Effort: One field, set once in export settings.
Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt.
feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url). Trip-planning apps and regional data coordinators have nobody to email when they spot a problem with your feed, so problems linger.
Effort: One field.
