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 213 day(s) ago at a boundary between the feed's own scheduled service periods. The calendar encodes distinct service periods (like academic terms), so this looks like a planned transition rather than a lapse — but trip planners still show nothing until the next period is published.

   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.

   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 lack rider-facing destination or direction text. When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.

   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.
