For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

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

Top three things to fix

  1. Correct feed_end_date in feed_info.txt. Set it to 2026-02-06, the last day in your calendar, or to the last day your schedule is reliable.

    feed_info.txt says this feed ends on 2025-07-01. Your service calendar runs to 2026-02-06. The GTFS standard tells apps to trust a feed only up to its end date. So apps may stop showing your service on the earlier date, even though the calendar goes on.

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

    Effort: One field in feed_info.txt, often an export setting.

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

    120 of 120 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 120 stops in the feed.

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

  3. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.

    139 of 139 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

    Fixing this covers all 139 trips in the feed.

    Effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.

Riders and need behind these fixes

  • This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
  • Indiana as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-05.

These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
