Top three things to fix

  1. Review the rule documentation for 'trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

    Trip distance exceeds shape distance (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

  2. Review the rule documentation for 'equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

    Equal shape distance diff coordinates (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

  3. Review the rule documentation for 'equal_shape_distance_same_coordinates' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

    Equal shape distance same coordinates (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

Service data covers the next 59 days.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not aligned. Your feed's agency_id is MTS, SAN; your National Transit Database ID is 90026. A feed that serves several agencies (a shared regional feed) can legitimately carry more than one agency_id, so a difference here is a heads-up, not an error. Optionally set the agency_id for your service to 90026 in agency.txt (and the matching agency_id in routes.txt) so the feed lines up with your NTD record. It is a convenience, not a required feed change: FTA also links agency_id to your NTD ID on your P-50 form.
