Down 0.3 points since 2026-07-08 (D to D).
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:
Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 23 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.
Estimated effort: One export setting.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 61 observed fixes).
