Southeast Area Transit District

Grade B · 80.2 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-07-31.

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness no change
  • Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

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

    604 of 606 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.

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

  2. Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units.

    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.

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

  3. Turn on shape cleanup in your export tool, or drop the repeated points from shapes.txt.

    Some route lines list the same point twice in a row. Repeated points don't hurt riders, but they can skew distance math and hint at a shaky export.

    Effort: Usually one export setting.
