Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT)
Grade F · 44.2 / 100
Down 3.3 points since 2026-08-07 (F to F).
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
Since the previous compatible check, 1 finding was no longer reported:
- Service data runs out in 8 day(s).
This records feed state, not who made a change or why.
What needs attention next
Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:
Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out. Set feed_end_date in feed_info.txt past your next service change.
Service data ended 48 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the transit vehicles are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.
Estimated effort: 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.
2534 of 2534 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 2,534 stops in the feed.
Estimated effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.
4953 of 4953 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the transit vehicle itself can take them.
Fixing this covers all 4,953 trips in the feed.
Estimated effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.
Riders and need behind these fixes
- No ridership snapshot was on hand when this was built, so annual rider-trips are not known.
- California 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 2026-09-28.
These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
