Top three things to fix

  1. Re-generate shape distances in your export; flag to your vendor if it persists.

    Some trips have stop times whose distances along the route go backwards. Apps can show buses jumping backwards or mis-order stops.

    Effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.

  2. Check the trip updates endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

    The trip updates realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.

    Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 11 observed fixes).

  3. Check the vehicle positions endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.

    The vehicle positions realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.

    Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.

    Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 9 observed fixes).

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.
