Up 0.3 points since 2026-08-01 (D to D).

For this call: lead with the grade and the three fixes below, then confirm the feed is current and the NTD details line up. Each fix is framed as a next step, not a failure.

What changed since the last check

  • Correctness no change
  • Freshness no change
  • Rider experience no change
  • Realtime quality up 1.7

No longer reported since the last check (1 finding):

  • 5 of 35 sampled vehicle positions were far from their assigned route (worst: 3377 m). (scorecard_rt_vehicles_off_route)

This compares feed state. It does not identify who made a change or why.

Top three things to fix

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

    Empty file (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Effort: Varies.

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

    169 of 169 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. Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip.

    397 of 397 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the bus itself can take them.

    Effort: A default or per-trip field in your export.
