Call-prep brief · checked 2026-10-20

Yurok Tribe Transit Service

Grade C · 74.9 / 100

Unchanged since 2026-10-19.

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

Top three things to fix

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

    26 of 26 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.

    Fixing this covers all 26 stops in the feed.

    Effort: A column in stops.txt; your scheduling software likely has it.

  2. Add the destination, direction, or 'via' label riders actually see to trip_headsign. Do not copy the route name. If the label changes during the trip, use stop_headsign.

    12 of 12 trips have no headsign, the text that tells riders where the bus is going. A trip counts when it has trip_headsign or a stop_headsign at every stop. When a route has multiple directions or patterns, the route name alone may not tell riders which service is coming.

    Fixing this covers all 12 trips in the feed.

    Effort: Usually one value per route pattern in your scheduling source.

  3. Re-generate shape_dist_traveled on export so stop and shape distances use the same units.

    On some trips the stop distances run a little past the end of the route line. The stop and shape distance values don't quite line up, so any math that uses them can drift.

    This is a validator notice, and the validator decides what each instance covers, so no share of the network can be read from it here.

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

Riders and need behind these fixes

  • This feed carries no National Transit Database ID, so annual rider-trips are not known for it.
  • California as a whole measures lower on transit need. That is a statewide reading, not one for this feed's service area. Source: US Census ACS 5-year 2022, statewide overlay, as of 2026-10-19.

These describe this feed only. They do not rank agencies, and they do not change the grade or the order of the fixes.
