How we measured this
Confidence in this measurement: medium.
- Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
- The feed was downloaded from the agency's own URL.
Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.
Top things to fix
Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units.Likely your export tool
On some trips the stop distances run a little past the end of the route line. The stop and shape distance values don't quite line up, so any math that uses them can drift.
⏱ Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.worth about +8 points in its category
Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree.Likely your export tool
Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values. Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong path or point riders to the wrong boarding location.

Ferry data profile
A ferry-specific view of what this GTFS feed publishes. Schedule measurements use ferry routes and trips only; fare and realtime facts are labelled as whole-feed. Unknown values are not treated as no.
- Ferry service
- 2 routes · 406 trips
- Terminal structure
- 4 ferry boarding locations; no parent-station hierarchy is published.
- Terminal access
- Not applicable: no ferry boarding location is linked to a parent station, so stop_access is not permitted here.
- Published accessibility
- 75% of ferry boarding locations publish a value; 75% of all ferry boarding locations explicitly say allowed (3 of 4). Unstated values remain unknown. 100% of ferry trips publish a value; 100% of all ferry trips explicitly say allowed (406 of 406). Unstated values remain unknown. This reports published values, not verified physical usability.
- Bicycles
- 100% of ferry trips publish a value; 100% of all ferry trips explicitly say allowed (406 of 406). Unstated values remain unknown.
- Cars
- Unknown: none of the 406 ferry trips publish cars_allowed.
- Fares
- Whole feed: applied fare data is published using GTFS Fares v2.
- Realtime
- Whole feed: no GTFS-Realtime endpoints are configured in this scorecard.
Descriptive only. This profile does not change the grade or verify vessels, terminal facilities, vehicle carriage, fares, or accessibility in the real world. Field meanings follow the GTFS Schedule reference.

Score by category
The MobilityData validator flagged 7 kinds of issue across 963 instances (0 error, 958 warning, 5 informational).
Service data covers the next 237 days.
99% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (96% marked accessible, 3% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is published.
99% of stops state accessibility (96% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.
1 accessibility depth signal
4 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (973, 975, South Lake Union Streetcar, First Hill Streetcar).
Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.
Opportunities to strengthen the data, not deductions from the sub-score above. States what the second accessibility lens can check from the feed, not verified physical usability.
Fares are applied to trips.
Not scored yet. Nothing here counts against the grade.

- Warning827 instances
On some trips the stop distances run a little past the end of the route line.
The stop and shape distance values don't quite line up, so any math that uses them can drift.
Fix: Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units. (Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.)
Finding code: trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance_below_threshold · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
- Warning83 instances
83 of 6446 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.
Fix: Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. (A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.)
Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)
- Warning76 instances
Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values.
Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong path or point riders to the wrong boarding location.
Fix: Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree. (Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.)

- Warning46 instances
Some stops sit far from the route line they belong to.
Trip planners may draw the transit vehicle route through the wrong path or point riders to the wrong boarding location.
Fix: Check the flagged stops' coordinates and the route shape in your scheduling software; re-snap whichever is misplaced. (A few minutes per flagged stop.)

- Warning12 instances
12 of 62614 trips lack rider-facing destination or direction text.
When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.
Fix: Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign. (Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.)

- Warning8 instances
Route short name too long (flagged by the MobilityData validator).
See the linked rule for what this affects.
Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'route_short_name_too_long' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)
Finding code: route_short_name_too_long · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
- Warning1 instance
Some service calendars have no days of the week switched on.
Trips tied to these calendars never run; they are dead data that can mask real schedule problems.
Fix: Delete the empty calendars or set their service days. (A few minutes in your scheduling software.)
Finding code: service_has_no_active_day_of_the_week · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
- Info4 instances
Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec.
Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.
Fix: Check the flagged column names for misspellings of standard GTFS fields; remove them if they are vendor extras. (A quick look at the flagged files.)
Finding code: unknown_column · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
- Info1 instance
The feed has a stretch of two weeks or more with no service running.
A long gap can mean dates were left out of the calendar. Apps then show no trips on those days.
Fix: Check whether the gap is real, like a seasonal break; if not, add the missing dates to the calendar. (A review of your calendar dates.)

NTD GTFS readiness Ready
Published at a public URL, valid, current, and identified with agency_id: the four feed checks for RY2026 all hold here. Only your own D-10 and P-50 filings make 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 237 days.
- agency_id provided Ready
- agency.txt provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk each value on the P-50 form.
- agency_id equals your NTD ID (optional) Not checked yet
- This feed provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk it on the P-50 form. The value does not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID; we do not have that ID on file, so the optional equality comparison is not checked yet.
- shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
- All 62614 trips have a shape in shapes.txt.
In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed, provide a stable agency_id for each represented reporter, and confirm the feed and P-50 crosswalk each year. This box is a heads-up; your filings are the official check.
A readiness signal mapping this feed to the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement (Report Year 2023 onward: a public, valid, current feed, certified annually on the D-10). For RY2026, each represented reporter needs a stable agency_id, unique within the feed and crosswalked to its five-digit NTD ID on P-50; the values do not need to be equal. FTA also requires shapes.txt in the published GTFS: Full Reporters from Report Year 2025, and Reduced, Rural, and Tribal Reporters from Report Year 2026. Not an official determination; your certification is the official check.
Conformance mark Awarded
This feed earns the conformance mark: valid, current, and stating wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip.
- Valid Met
- Passes validation with no errors.
- Current Met
- Service data covers the next 237 days.
- Accessible Met
- States wheelchair access on 99% of stops and 100% of trips.
In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.
A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.
Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 237 days of service ahead, clearing the four-week (28-day) window Maps asks for. No validator errors either, so riders keep seeing this agency in their trip planners; warnings lower the grade here but do not remove a feed from Maps.
How this agency maps to the standards
The scorecard is a data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Its universal references describe good GTFS and useful rider information. Useful references here are GTFS Schedule Best Practices, GTFS-Realtime Best Practices, MobilityData grading scheme, Google Transit publication guidance, FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement. Read the full standards crosswalk.
A local transit-data support resource is WSDOT Transportation Data. WSDOT builds and publishes GTFS for Washington transit agencies. This resource supports agencies; it is not a scoring authority.
- Correctness 67 / 100
- GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading covers stop locations, route names, and colors. Google Transit requires a feed to pass validation for publication. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is valid.
- Freshness 100 / 100
- GTFS Schedule best practices call for a dataset that stays current. An expired calendar can remove service from Google Transit and other rider trip planners. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is current.
- Rider experience 100 / 100
- GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
- Realtime quality Not yet published
- GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.

This page updates on every check. The record below does not: it is the dated file this grade came from, published at https://gtfsscorecard.org/data/artifacts/sound-transit-metro-transit-city-of-seattle-king-county-metro/2026-08-01.json and never overwritten, pinning the grade, category scores, rubric version, validator version, reader archive profile, and the scored feed's sha256 as they stood on 2026-08-01. Use it in a board packet, a regulatory filing, or a research citation instead of linking the live page, whose content will differ on your next visit.
