SolTrans (Solano County Transit)
Grade B · 88.5 / 100
Unchanged since 2026-07-31.
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:
Trim leading and trailing spaces on export. The scorecard's auto-fixed copy already does this.
Some values have extra spaces at the start or end. A stray space can break a match, so a stop or route may fail to link across files.
Estimated effort: Usually one export setting.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
69 of 428 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.
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.
Estimated effort: One setting in most export tools.
