Top three things to fix
Check the trip updates endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.
The trip updates realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.
Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 11 observed fixes).
Check the vehicle positions endpoint with your AVL vendor; it should return a fresh GTFS-Realtime protobuf on every request.
The vehicle positions realtime feed failed during sampling. When this feed is down, riders see scheduled times presented as if they were live.
Effort: Usually a vendor support ticket.
Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 9 observed fixes).
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops.
155 of 155 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.
NTD certification readiness: Ready
Published at a public URL, valid, and current: the three things the NTD GTFS requirement asks of a feed all hold here. Only your own D-10 certification makes that official; this is a heads-up, not a determination.
- Published Ready
- Published at a public URL.
- Valid Ready
- Passes validation with no errors.
- Current Ready
- Service data covers the next 341 days.
agency_id and NTD ID: Not aligned. Your feed's agency_id is 526; your National Transit Database ID is 90165. A feed that serves several agencies (a shared regional feed) can legitimately carry more than one agency_id, so a difference here is a heads-up, not an error. Optionally set the agency_id for your service to 90165 in agency.txt (and the matching agency_id in routes.txt) so the feed lines up with your NTD record. It is a convenience, not a required feed change: FTA also links agency_id to your NTD ID on your P-50 form.
