Top things to fix

Fix 01

Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.Likely your export tool

Service data ended 676 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

⏱ Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.worth about +100 points

Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).

Fix 02

Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default).Likely your export tool

1282 of 1282 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

⏱ Often one default setting in your export.worth about +15 points

Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

Fix 03

Remove retired stops from the export, or add them back to the trips that should serve them.Likely your export tool

Some stops exist in the feed but no trip ever stops at them. Riders may walk to a stop where no bus is scheduled to arrive.

⏱ A review pass in your scheduling software.worth about +6 points

Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 11 observed fixes).

Hi StarMetro team,

Service data ended 676 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.

Your feed is produced by Trillium, so the quickest path is usually forwarding this to your Trillium contact.

This came from your GTFS data quality scorecard, which checks the feed you publish and lists the fixes in plain language: https://gtfsscorecard.org/agency/starmetro-344/

Everything we checked

Error1 instance
Service data ended 676 day(s) ago.
When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.
Fix: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. (Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.)
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).

Warning1282 instances
1282 of 1282 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.
Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.
Fix: Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip (most small-agency fleets are 100% accessible, so this is often a single default). (Often one default setting in your export.)
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 5 observed fixes).

Warning140 instances
140 of 974 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.)
Validator rule: scorecard_wheelchair_boarding_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)

Some service calendars in the feed have already expired.
Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.

This feed's service calendar runs out within the next 7 days.
When the calendar ends, Google Maps and other trip planners drop your agency entirely. Riders see no service at all.
Fix: Export and publish an updated GTFS feed that covers at least the next 30 days of service. (Usually a re-export from your scheduling software.)
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 16 observed fixes).
Validator rule: feed_expiration_date7_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules (opens the validator rules on an external site)
Warning1 instance
Many of the feed's trips don't run at all in the next 7 days.
It usually means old service periods are still in the export, making the feed bigger and harder to check.

Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 31 observed fixes).

Warning1 instance
This feed describes flexible (demand-responsive) service but has no booking_rules.txt.
Riders can see the service area but not how or when to reserve a trip, so they can't actually use the service.
Fix: Add booking_rules.txt saying how far ahead and how to book (phone, app, or web). (A small file; one rule often covers the whole service.)
Validator rule: scorecard_flex_no_booking_rules · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)
Warning1 instance
This feed models stations or entrances but has no pathways.txt.
Trip planners can't guide riders through the station, and there is no step-free route information for wheelchair users.
Fix: Add pathways.txt connecting entrances, platforms, and any elevators, with a level for each. (Worth it for multi-level or large stations; flat stops don't need it.)
Validator rule: scorecard_station_no_pathways · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference (opens the GTFS Schedule reference on an external site)
Info34 instances
Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec.
Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.

Beyond the grade

Opportunities that do not change your grade today: fare detail, on-demand service, and deeper accessibility data.

Flex zones are published but no booking_rules.txt is present.
Consider: Add booking_rules.txt with how far ahead and how to reserve (phone, app, or web).
8 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (S, W, 5, 5, GA, and more).
Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.
122 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("W Tennessee Street and Raven St", "Fred George Road and St. Louis Church", "W Tennessee Street East of Capital Circle NW", and more).
Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.
This feed models stations or entrances but has no pathways.txt and levels.txt.
Consider: Add pathways.txt connecting entrances, platforms, and elevators, and levels.txt for each floor, so the step-free route is described.

NTD certification readiness Not ready

Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. Service data expired 676 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

Published Ready: Published at a public URL.
Valid Ready: Passes validation with no errors.
Current Not ready: Service data expired 676 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

agency_id matches your 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.

In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed and confirm it once a year. This box is a heads-up on whether yours looks ready; it is not the official sign-off.

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). Aligning agency_id with your NTD ID lets the feed line up with your NTD record; the July 2025 final rule links the two on the P-50 form rather than requiring that feed change, and 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

This feed is close to the conformance mark. Service data expired 676 days ago. States wheelchair access on 86% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Valid Met: Passes validation with no errors.
Current Not yet: Service data expired 676 days ago.
Accessible Not yet: States wheelchair access on 86% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

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.

36 of 973 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.

Below the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed's last day of service has passed, so Google and Apple Maps will stop showing your agency. Re-export with a calendar that covers at least the next four weeks.

How this agency maps to the standards

A data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Each category shows this feed's score and the standards it relates to: the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement, the MobilityData grading scheme, and the Google Transit gate. Read the full standards crosswalk.

Correctness 72 / 100: GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading: stop locations, route names and colors. Google Transit: a feed must pass validation to stay in Maps.
Freshness 0 / 100: The FTA National Transit Database expectation of a valid, current feed. Google Transit: an expired calendar drops the agency from Maps.
Rider experience 81 / 100: GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading: stop names and headsigns.
Realtime quality Not yet published: GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.

The record below does not: it is the dated file this grade came from, published at https://gtfsscorecard.org/data/artifacts/starmetro-344/2026-07-09.json and never overwritten, pinning the grade, category scores, rubric version, validator version, and the scored feed's sha256 as they stood on 2026-07-09. Use it in a board packet, an NTD narrative, or a research citation instead of linking the live page, whose content will differ on your next visit.
