Top three things to fix

1. Confirm your next service period is published: export its calendar and set feed_info feed_end_date past it.

   The published calendar ended 280 day(s) ago, right where one of the feed's own service periods ends. The calendar sets out separate service periods, such as school terms. So this reads as a planned change, not a lapse. Trip planners still show nothing until you publish the next period.

   This one is about the feed as a whole, so there is no share of it to count.

   Effort: One export when the next period's schedule is set.

2. Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.

   133 of 133 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 133 stops in the feed.

   Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

3. Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign.

   176 of 176 trips have no headsign, the text that tells riders where the bus is going. A trip counts when it has trip_headsign or a stop_headsign at every stop. When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.

   Fixing this covers all 176 trips in the feed.

   Effort: Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.

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 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.
