Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (MTD)

What changed since the last check

• Correctness no change
• Freshness down 1.7
• Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

1. Check the flagged stop times for transposed minutes.

   Some scheduled trips move faster between stops than a bus can. Usually a typo'd stop time; riders get arrival times no bus can meet.

   Effort: A few minutes per flagged trip.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 2 weeks (based on 6 observed fixes).

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

   Some service calendars in the feed have already ended. 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).

NTD certification readiness: Ready

Published at a public URL, valid, and current: the three things the NTD GTFS requirement asks of a feed all hold here. Only your own D-10 certification makes that official; this is a heads-up, not a determination.

Published Ready

Published at a public URL.

Valid Ready

Passes validation with no errors.

Current Ready

Service data covers the next 42 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.
