TriMet, Portland Streetcar
Grade C · 71.8 / 100
Unchanged since 2026-07-31.
What this grade measures
The quality of the schedule data this agency publishes for trip-planning apps: whether riders using Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Transit see current, correct, and complete information. It measures the data feed, not service quality or operations.
Progress this period
No newly cleared items this period. The score and trend above reflect where the feed stands today.
What needs attention next
Three improvements, in priority order, each sized so the board can see what it is approving:
Review the rule documentation for 'block_trips_with_overlapping_stop_times' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.
Block trips with overlapping stop times (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.
Estimated effort: Varies.
Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign.
70557 of 70557 trips lack rider-facing destination or direction text. When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.
Estimated effort: Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.
Delete the empty calendars or set their service days.
Some service calendars have no days of the week switched on. Trips tied to these calendars never run; they are dead data that can mask real schedule problems.
Estimated effort: A few minutes in your scheduling software.
