Heads-up: The score rose 23 points in one step, from 46 on 2026-08-10 to 69 on 2026-09-01. A jump this size usually means the export changed rather than the service. Worth checking the run on this date. (checked 2026-09-01). This can be a brief vendor export glitch; watch the next update before acting.

How we measured this

Confidence in this measurement: high.

All four score categories were measured this run.
Realtime was sampled in one bounded window of 9 snapshots.
The feed was downloaded from the configured feed URL. Publisher ownership of that URL is not verified.

Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Review the rule documentation for 'pathway_unreachable_location' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

Pathway unreachable location (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

⏱ Varies.worth about +18 points in its category

Fix 02

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

Fix 03

Check the flagged stop times for transposed minutes.

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

⏱ A few minutes per flagged trip.worth about +8 points in its category

Rider view: what this feed publishes

A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.

Schedule visibility: The feed's last published service date is in 160 days.
Published accessibility data: Accessibility information is stated for 99.9% of stops and 100% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.

Error6 instances
Pathway unreachable location (flagged by the MobilityData validator).
See the linked rule for what this affects.
Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'pathway_unreachable_location' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)
Finding code: pathway_unreachable_location · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning224 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 for trip_distance_exceeds_shape_distance_below_threshold · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning92 instances
Some scheduled trips move faster between stops than a transit vehicle can.
Usually a typo'd stop time; riders get arrival times no transit vehicle can meet.
Fix: Check the flagged stop times for transposed minutes. (A few minutes per flagged trip.)
Finding code: fast_travel_between_consecutive_stops · Read the fix guide for fast_travel_between_consecutive_stops · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning44 instances
44 of 305 trips scheduled during the sampling window had no live predictions.
Riders on those trips get schedule times labeled as live. Caltrans asks that every trip you run shows up in TripUpdates.
Fix: Ask your AVL vendor to check that every vehicle assignment reaches TripUpdates. School-day and tripper runs are the ones most often left out. (A vendor data-mapping question.)
Finding code: scorecard_rt_trip_coverage · Read the fix guide for scorecard_rt_trip_coverage · See GTFS-Realtime reference (opens the GTFS-Realtime reference on an external site)
Warning12 instances
12 of 14054 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 for scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)
Warning6 instances
Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase.
ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.
Fix: Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)
Finding code: mixed_case_recommended_field · Read the fix guide for mixed_case_recommended_field · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning5 instances
The feed contains route shapes no trip uses.
Harmless to riders, but it bloats the feed and suggests stale export data.
Fix: Turn on 'remove unused shapes' (or the like) in your export tool. (One setting.)
Finding code: unused_shape · Read the fix guide for unused_shape · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning4 instances
Pathway dangling generic node (flagged by the MobilityData validator).
See the linked rule for what this affects.
Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'pathway_dangling_generic_node' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)
Finding code: pathway_dangling_generic_node · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning4 instances
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 for service_has_no_active_day_of_the_week · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning3 instances
Some stops exist in the feed but no trip ever stops at them.
Riders may walk to a stop where no transit vehicle is scheduled to arrive.
Fix: Remove retired stops from the export, or add them back to the trips that should serve them. (A review pass in your scheduling software.)
Finding code: stop_without_stop_time · Read the fix guide for stop_without_stop_time · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning1 instance
feed_info.txt lists no contact email and no contact URL.
Without a contact, apps like Google Maps can't reach you when they find a problem in the feed.
Fix: Add feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url to feed_info.txt. (One field, set once in export settings.)
Finding code: missing_feed_contact_email_and_url · Read the fix guide for missing_feed_contact_email_and_url · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning1 instance
Some route long names repeat the route's short name inside them.
Apps show both names together, so riders see the number twice, like '5 5 Downtown'.
Fix: Drop the short name from route_long_name and keep the long name descriptive, like 'Downtown via 5th Ave'. (One field per flagged route.)
Finding code: route_long_name_contains_short_name · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Info857 instances
This feed maps paths inside its stations. It includes step-free routes with an elevator.
Riders can be routed through the station, and wheelchair users can see whether a step-free route exists.
Fix: No action needed. (None.)
Finding code: scorecard_station_pathways
Info2 instances
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.)
Finding code: big_gap_in_service · Read the fix guide for big_gap_in_service · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Info2 instances
The feed includes a file that is not part of the GTFS spec.
Apps ignore files they don't know, and a stray file can hide a misspelled standard file name.
Fix: Check the flagged file name for a typo of a standard GTFS file. Remove it if it is a vendor extra. (A quick look at the flagged file.)
Finding code: unknown_file · Read the fix guide for unknown_file · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Info1 instance
Unused station (flagged by the MobilityData validator).
See the linked rule for what this affects.
Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'unused_station' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)
Finding code: unused_station · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Info1 instance
feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url).
App makers and state data programs have nobody to email when they spot a problem. Small errors then sit in the feed for months.
Fix: Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt. (One field.)

NTD GTFS readiness Needs attention

This feed is close to NTD-ready. 1 validator error to resolve.

Published Ready: Published at a public URL.
Valid Needs attention: 1 validator error to resolve.
Current Ready: Service data covers the next 160 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 35446 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 Not yet

One requirement remains for this feed to earn the conformance mark. 1 validator error to resolve.

Valid Not yet: 1 validator error to resolve.
Current Met: Service data covers the next 160 days.
Accessible Met: States wheelchair access on 100% 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.

Can riders use it?

Checks beyond structural validation: places where the feed is valid but a rider still could not travel.

3 of 13427 boardable stops are never served by any trip. Riders see these stops in apps and on the map but can never catch anything there, which erodes trust in the data. Remove stops no route serves, or add the trips that should call at them.

These do not change the grade. They catch trips with no rideable leg and stops no trip serves, the kind of gap a trip planner trips over.

Realtime reliability

The realtime feed responded on 100.0% of 200 checks in the 31 days to 2026-09-15, with 24s median lag.

Sampled on a schedule between full scores, so this tracks uptime and freshness over time rather than at a single moment. The window ends at the newest observation, which is not always today: if the monitor stops, this window stops with it.

Live predictions vs schedule

Arrival predictions ran a median 90s late versus the schedule, and stayed within 522s nine times in ten. They were on time (about a minute early to five late) 67.2% of the time. 98.6% of reported vehicle positions sat on or near the published route shape.

From the last full realtime sample: how far live arrival predictions sat from the schedule, and whether vehicle positions fell on the route. These feed the realtime score; they change no other category.

Clears the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed has 158 days of service ahead, clearing the four-week (28-day) window Maps asks for. The feed also carries 6 validator errors, the other thing Maps checks at onboarding; the findings below name each fix.

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.

Correctness 34 / 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 92 / 100: GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
Realtime quality 95 / 100: GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.
