A data-quality and completeness lens to help an agency improve its GTFS feed. Not an official compliance determination from any transit program. New to this? How to read your scorecard. Interactive view of this scorecard. Rubric v1.3, validator 8.0.1.

Checked for changes 65 minutes ago; last fetch returned HTTP 401.

Measured 3 of 4 score categories from the Mobility Database's mirror copy of the feed.

How we measured this

Confidence in this measurement: provisional.

  • Realtime quality was not measured this run. It does not count against the grade.
  • The agency's own feed URL was unreachable, so the Mobility Database's hosted mirror copy was scored instead.

Confidence describes how much the pipeline could measure this run, not the feed itself. It never changes the grade.

Top things to fix

Fix 01

Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change.Likely your export tool

Service data ended 659 day(s) ago. When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the transit vehicles are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

⏱ Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.worth about +100 points in its category

Fix 02

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

Number out of range (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

⏱ Varies.worth about +12 points in its category

Fix 03

How to make and check these changes

Check the result on the published feed. Read the guide, make the change in your tool, and use the next comparable run to see whether the finding is still reported. Only an action or ticket record can attribute who made the change.

  1. Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. · Read the fix guide

    Make the change. Make this change in whatever tool produces your feed, then re-export.

    Check the result. The next scorecard run checks this finding again. If a comparable check no longer reports it, the feed's clearance log records that result. This confirms feed state, not who made the change. Self-check a feed before you publish.

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

Rider view: what this feed publishes

A quick read of rider-facing information in this feed.

Schedule visibility
The feed's last published service date was 659 days ago.
Published accessibility data
Accessibility information is stated for 100% of stops and 0% of trips. This measures published data, not whether stops or vehicles are physically usable.
Fare information
No fare information is published in the feed.
Realtime information
Realtime-feed availability and live-arrival coverage are not known from this scorecard.

Important: This does not rate service reliability. Riders should confirm current service alerts, fares, and accessibility accommodations with the transit operator before traveling.

Send your vendor a fix request

You may not control the GTFS export yourself. Copy this and send it to whoever runs your scheduling software export. It names each fix with the validator notice and a guide link.

Score by category

Correctness27.0 / 100

The MobilityData validator flagged 13 kinds of issue across 8041 instances (5 error, 8028 warning, 8 informational).

Freshness0.0 / 100

Service data ended 659 day(s) ago. Trip planners have likely already dropped this feed.

Rider experience47.7 / 100

100% of stops state wheelchair accessibility (94% marked accessible, 6% marked not accessible). This measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. Fare data is not published.

Accessibility62.5 / 100

100% of stops state accessibility (94% marked accessible). Reflects what the feed states, not verified physical usability.

2 accessibility depth signals

  • 1 route badge(s) pair a color and text color below the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast bar (Green).

    Consider: Adjust route_color or route_text_color so each pair clears 4.5:1. Often switching the text between black and white is enough.

  • 418 stop name(s) use abbreviations or symbols a screen reader may mispronounce, with no spoken form set ("VAN DORN ST METRORAIL STATION", "MORGAN BLVD METRORAIL STATION", "ADDISON RD METRORAIL STATION", and more).

    Consider: Add tts_stop_name with the spoken form, e.g. 'Main Street and Second Avenue', for the affected stops.

Opportunities to strengthen the data, not deductions from the sub-score above. States what the second accessibility lens can check from the feed, not verified physical usability.

Realtime qualityNot yet measured

This agency publishes realtime, but the feed needs an access key we don't have yet. Nothing here counts against the grade.

Routes and stops

Each route is drawn once, using the longest shape its trips follow; stops are the dots.

This feed has 2050 stops.

  • Error4 instances

    Number out of range (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'number_out_of_range' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

  • Error1 instance

    Bidirectional exit gate (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'bidirectional_exit_gate' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

    Finding code: bidirectional_exit_gate · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Error1 instance

    Service data ended 659 day(s) ago.

    When the calendar runs out, trip planners stop showing this agency even though the transit vehicles are still running. Riders are told the service does not exist.

    Fix: Re-export the feed with a calendar that reaches further out, and set feed_info feed_end_date past your next service change. (Usually one export setting; export on a schedule so it never lapses again.)

    Finding code: scorecard_feed_expired · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices

  • Warning9955 instances

    9955 of 9955 trips don't say whether the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.

    Even with accessible stops, riders need to know the transit vehicle itself can take them.

    Fix: Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip. (A default or per-trip field in your export.)

    Finding code: scorecard_wheelchair_accessible_unknown · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Schedule reference

  • Warning6667 instances

    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.

    Fix: Use mixed case for stop names and headsigns (e.g. 'Main St & 2nd Ave', not 'MAIN ST & 2ND AVE'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: mixed_case_recommended_field · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1322 instances

    Some stops sit far from the route line, going by the feed's own distance values.

    Trip planners may draw the route down the wrong path or point riders to the wrong boarding location.

    Fix: Check the flagged stops' shape_dist_traveled against the route shape, and re-generate it on export if they disagree. (Usually an export-tool fix, not hand editing.)

    Finding code: stop_too_far_from_shape_using_user_distance · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning21 instances

    Some stops sit far from the route line they belong to.

    Trip planners may draw the transit vehicle route through the wrong path or point riders to the wrong boarding location.

    Fix: Check the flagged stops' coordinates and the route shape in your scheduling software; re-snap whichever is misplaced. (A few minutes per flagged stop.)

    Finding code: stop_too_far_from_shape · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning9 instances

    Some service calendars in the feed have already ended.

    Expired calendars are dead weight and can hide real schedule problems from your staff and vendors.

    Fix: Remove past service periods the next time you export the feed. (One setting in most export tools.)

    Finding code: expired_calendar · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning5 instances

    Same name and description for stop (flagged by the MobilityData validator).

    See the linked rule for what this affects.

    Fix: Review the rule documentation for 'same_name_and_description_for_stop' at https://gtfs-validator.mobilitydata.org/rules.html and check the flagged rows in your feed. (Varies.)

    Finding code: same_name_and_description_for_stop · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    This feed's service calendar runs out within the next 7 days.

    When the calendar ends, Google Maps and other trip planners drop your agency entirely. Riders see no service at all.

    Fix: Export and publish an updated GTFS feed that covers at least the next 30 days of service. (Usually a re-export from your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: feed_expiration_date7_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    feed_info.txt lists no contact email and no contact URL.

    Without a contact, apps like Google Maps can't reach you when they find a problem in the feed.

    Fix: Add feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url to feed_info.txt. (One field, set once in export settings.)

    Finding code: missing_feed_contact_email_and_url · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    Some files leave out fields that GTFS asks for but does not require.

    Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.

    Fix: Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use. (A field at a time; not urgent.)

    Finding code: missing_recommended_field · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    Many of the feed's trips don't run at all in the next 7 days.

    It usually means old service periods are still in the export, making the feed bigger and harder to check.

    Fix: Trim past service periods the next time you export. (One setting in most export tools.)

    Finding code: trip_coverage_not_active_for_next7_days · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Warning1 instance

    The feed contains no fare information.

    Riders see 'fare unknown' in trip planners and can't budget their trip; visitors are most affected.

    Fix: Add fare_attributes.txt (or Fares v2 files) with your fare structure. If your service is fare-free, ask to have it marked fare-free instead. (A small file for most flat-fare systems.)

    Finding code: scorecard_no_fare_data · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices

  • Info2738 instances

    This feed describes station pathways, including step-free (elevator) routes.

    Riders can be routed through the station, and wheelchair users can see whether a step-free route exists.

    Fix: No action needed. (None.)

    Finding code: scorecard_station_pathways

  • Info2026 instances

    About 2026 stop names are written in ALL CAPS.

    Mixed-case names are easier to read in apps and are read more naturally by screen readers.

    Fix: Rename stops to mixed case where the language has letter case (for example, 'Central Station'). (Often a bulk fix in your scheduling software.)

    Finding code: scorecard_stop_names_all_caps · Read the fix guide · See GTFS Best Practices

  • Info5 instances

    Some service dates fall outside the date window set in feed_info.txt.

    feed_info.txt should span every day your service runs, so apps know when the data applies.

    Fix: Widen feed_start_date and feed_end_date to cover all service dates, or fix the dates that fall outside. (Two fields in feed_info.txt, or one export setting.)

    Finding code: service_window_outside_feed_period · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Info3 instances

    Some files contain columns that are not part of the GTFS spec.

    Harmless to riders, but apps ignore these columns and they can hide typos in real column names.

    Fix: Check the flagged column names for misspellings of standard GTFS fields; remove them if they are vendor extras. (A quick look at the flagged files.)

    Finding code: unknown_column · Read the fix guide · See MobilityData GTFS Validator rules

  • Info1 instance

    feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url).

    Trip-planning apps and regional data coordinators have nobody to email when they spot a problem with your feed, so problems linger.

    Fix: Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt. (One field.)

NTD GTFS readiness Not ready

Resolve this before you certify on the D-10. 2 validator errors to resolve. Service data expired 659 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.

Published Ready
Published at a public URL.
Valid Needs attention
2 validator errors to resolve.
Current Not ready
Service data expired 659 days ago, so FTA would find the link out of date.
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 your NTD ID (optional) Different (allowed)
Your feed's agency_id is 1; your National Transit Database ID is 30030. A feed that serves several agencies (a shared regional feed) can legitimately carry more than one agency_id. The values do not need to equal the five-digit NTD ID, so this difference is allowed and carries no score. Confirm that P-50 crosswalks agency_id 1 to NTD ID 30030, and keep the feed value stable. Do not change it solely to make the two values equal.
shapes.txt covers your trips Ready
All 9955 trips have a shape in shapes.txt.

In plain words: if you report to the federal transit database, you have to publish a working, up-to-date feed, provide a stable agency_id for each represented reporter, and confirm the feed and P-50 crosswalk each year. This box is a heads-up; your filings are the official check.

A readiness signal mapping this feed to the FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement (Report Year 2023 onward: a public, valid, current feed, certified annually on the D-10). For RY2026, each represented reporter needs a stable agency_id, unique within the feed and crosswalked to its five-digit NTD ID on P-50; the values do not need to be equal. FTA also requires shapes.txt in the published GTFS: Full Reporters from Report Year 2025, and Reduced, Rural, and Tribal Reporters from Report Year 2026. Not an official determination; your certification is the official check.

Conformance mark Not yet

This feed is close to the conformance mark. 2 validator errors to resolve. Service data expired 659 days ago. States wheelchair access on 100% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

Valid Not yet
2 validator errors to resolve.
Current Not yet
Service data expired 659 days ago.
Accessible Not yet
States wheelchair access on 100% of stops and 0% of trips; the mark needs 90% of each.

In plain words: earn this mark when your feed passes validation, has not expired, and says whether nearly every stop and trip is wheelchair accessible.

A pass credential for a feed that is valid, current, and states wheelchair access on nearly every stop and trip. Accessibility here measures what the feed publishes, not whether a stop is physically usable. How the conformance mark works.

Below the Google and Apple Maps four-week coverage bar. This feed's last day of service has passed, so Google and Apple Maps will stop showing your agency. Re-export with a calendar that covers at least the next four weeks. The feed also carries 5 validator errors, the other thing Maps checks at onboarding; the findings below name each fix.

How this agency maps to the standards

The scorecard is a data-quality lens, not a compliance determination. Its universal references describe good GTFS and useful rider information. Useful references here are GTFS Schedule Best Practices, GTFS-Realtime Best Practices, MobilityData grading scheme, Google Transit publication guidance, FTA National Transit Database GTFS requirement. Read the full standards crosswalk.

Correctness 27 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices, checked by the MobilityData validator. MobilityData grading covers stop locations, route names, and colors. Google Transit requires a feed to pass validation for publication. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is valid.
Freshness 0 / 100
GTFS Schedule best practices call for a dataset that stays current. An expired calendar can remove service from Google Transit and other rider trip planners. FTA NTD readiness also checks that the published feed is current.
Rider experience 48 / 100
GTFS Best Practices for rider-facing fields. MobilityData grading covers stop names and headsigns.
Realtime quality Access needed to measure
GTFS-Realtime best practices: a stable URL, high uptime, and frequent updates.
