• Rider experience no change

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 789 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses 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.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 18 observed fixes).

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

   491 of 491 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. Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE').

   Some rider-facing names are in ALL CAPS or all lowercase. ALL-CAPS stop and headsign names are harder to read in apps and are read awkwardly by screen readers.

   Effort: Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.

Ready to send to the agency

Hi Transfort – City of Fort Collins (Transfort) team, Service data ended 789 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the buses 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. 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/transfort-city-of-fort-collins-transfort/

Copy this note from the full scorecard.

NTD certification readiness: Not ready

Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. Service data expired 788 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

Published Ready

Published at a public URL.

Valid Ready

Passes validation with no errors.

Current Not ready

Service data expired 788 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.
