Top three things to fix
Re-export with a validity window that reaches at least 60 days out.
Service data runs out in 15 day(s). When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency. Fixing it now is calmer than after riders notice.
Effort: One export setting.
Add feed_info.txt with feed_start_date and feed_end_date to your export.
feed_info.txt is missing its start/end dates (the file itself is absent) Apps and this scorecard can't warn anyone before the feed goes stale without stated validity dates.
Effort: Two fields, set once in export settings.
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.
2662 of 3682 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.
Effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.
