Top three things to fix

1. Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out. Set feed_end_date in feed_info.txt past your next service change.

   Service data ended 1702 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.

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

   2073 of 2073 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. Ask your AVL vendor to check vehicle-to-trip assignments for the flagged trips.

   1 of 1 sampled vehicle positions were far from their assigned route (worst: 537 m). A bus shown off its route usually means a wrong trip assignment; riders watch their bus drive the wrong streets.

   Effort: A vendor support ticket with the trip ids attached.

Hi Votran team, Service data ended 1702 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. Set feed_end_date in feed_info.txt 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/votran/

agency_id provided Ready

agency.txt provides agency_id. For RY2026, keep one stable value for each NTD reporter represented in the feed and crosswalk each value on the P-50 form.

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.
