Southeastern Regional Transit Authority (SRTA)

Grade B · 80.9 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-10-06.

What this grade measures

The quality of the schedule data in the feed scored here 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:

Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
1017 of 1017 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.
Fixing this covers all 1,017 stops in the feed.
Estimated effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.
Check the flagged stop times for transposed minutes.
Some scheduled trips move faster between stops than a bus can. Usually a typo'd stop time; riders get arrival times no bus can meet.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: A few minutes per flagged trip.
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.
This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.
Estimated effort: One setting in most export tools.

Riders and need behind these fixes

This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
Massachusetts as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-05.

These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
