UTA

Grade F · 19.6 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-07-08.

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:

  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 817 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.

    Estimated 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. Re-generate shape distances in your export; flag to your vendor if it persists.

    Some trips have stop times whose distances along the route go backwards. Apps can show buses jumping backwards or mis-order stops.

    Estimated effort: Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.

  3. Review the rule documentation for 'equal_shape_distance_diff_coordinates' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed.

    Equal shape distance diff coordinates (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Estimated effort: Varies.
