What changed since the last check

No category changes since the last check.

Top three things to fix

1. Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.

   Service data ended 1179 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the vessels are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

   Effort: Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.

2. Add the required column named in the finding to the flagged file.

   A file is missing a column that GTFS requires. Apps may reject the whole file, so riders could lose the affected routes or stops.

   Effort: Often an export setting; ask your vendor if it recurs.

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

   5 of 5 terminals 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.

Ready to send to the agency

Hi Tideline Water Taxi team, Service data ended 1179 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the vessels are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist. The fix is usually one export setting: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. Your feed is produced by Trillium, so the quickest path is usually forwarding this to your Trillium contact. This came from your GTFS data quality scorecard, which checks the feed you publish and lists the fixes in plain language: https://gtfsscorecard.org/agency/tideline-water-taxi/

agency_id provided Ready

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.
