What changed since the last check

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

Top three things to fix

1. Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE').

   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.

   Effort: Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.

2. Delete the empty calendars or set their service days.

   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.

   Effort: A few minutes in your scheduling software.

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

   Stop too far from shape using user distance (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Effort: Varies.

NTD GTFS readiness: Ready

This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

Published Ready

Published at a public URL.

Valid Ready

Passes validation with no errors.

Current Ready

Service data covers the next 81 days.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
