• Correctness no change
• Freshness no change
• Rider experience no change

Top three things to fix

1. Review the flagged fields and fill in the ones your riders would use.

   Some files are missing recommended (not required) fields. Recommended fields like agency_phone or stop descriptions make the feed more useful to riders and trip planners.

   Effort: A field at a time; not urgent.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 2 weeks (based on 8 observed fixes).

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

   Missing feed contact email and url (flagged by the MobilityData validator). See the linked rule for what this affects.

   Effort: Varies.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 6 observed fixes).

3. Add feed_contact_email to feed_info.txt.

   feed_info.txt has no technical contact (feed_contact_email or feed_contact_url). App makers and state data programs have nobody to email when they spot a problem with your feed, so problems linger.

   Effort: One field.

   Agencies here usually clear this within about 1 week (based on 10 observed fixes).

NTD certification readiness: Ready

This feed looks ready for your NTD certification: published at a public URL, valid, and current. The official check is still your D-10 certification.

Published Ready

Published at a public URL.

Valid Ready

Passes validation with no errors.

Current Ready

Service data covers the next 84 days.

agency_id and NTD ID: Not checked yet. Setting your GTFS agency_id to your five-digit NTD ID is an optional way to line a feed up with its National Transit Database record. FTA links the two on your P-50 form, so it is not a required feed change. We don't have your NTD ID on file, so this is not checked yet.

The bar this score answers to
