San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (SLORTA)

What this grade measures

The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes 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:

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

   353 of 353 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.

   Estimated effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

2. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).

   415 of 415 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

   Estimated effort: Often one default setting in your export.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

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

   Missing feed contact email and url (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Estimated effort: Varies.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 6 observed fixes).
