California agencies

110 feed scorecards · 74.1 out of 100 average · 55 need attention

The average and grade distribution use 56 canonical, non-duplicate feed scorecards under one producer contract: rubric 1.4, scoring profile gtfs-scorecard-1.4, MobilityData gtfs-validator 8.0.1, reader archive profile raw-v1, and measured categories Correctness, Freshness, Rider experience. Every member remains listed below.

Matched to the state report directory 92 of 110

Of the 110 feed records on this page, 92 are matched to an agency in the state's own monthly GTFS report directory (September 2026). Those reports cover the schedule side; this page adds a daily evidence layer on top of them. Nothing here changes a grade.

Directory read on 2026-10-05 from https://reports.dds.dot.ca.gov/gtfs_schedule/2026/09. Method: how the crosswalk is built.

Expired feeds 43 of 110

These feeds have run out and dropped from trip planners. Start the program's outreach here.

Recently lapsed 16

Expired within the last year. Likely still running; a re-export with a longer calendar brings each one back into trip planners.

Expired over a year ago 27

Expired more than a year ago. The listed URL is usually still canonical, so the source stopped refreshing. Confirm the agency still runs before reading the grade as a current failure.

Realtime health 37 monitored

All 37 feed records here with a realtime endpoint configured have been sampled by the monitor. Least reliable first. Reachability, how far behind each feed's own timestamp runs, and how much of the scheduled service appears in it. Sampled on a schedule rather than continuously, and it changes no grade.

Across the monitored feeds: median uptime 100.0%, median lag 3s.

shapes.txt coverage 102 of 108

The FTA National Transit Database requires shapes.txt covering every trip (Reduced, Rural, and Tribal reporters by Report Year 2026; Full Reporters already). These agencies are not fully covered yet. Check each one against its own NTD filing.

Federal reporting: California transit feeds and the NTD shapes.txt requirement, with each tracked feed's shapes.txt and agency_id check.

Fixes shared across this group

The same fix shows up in more than one agency's top 3 here, often the same export setting or scheduling-software step. Worth raising once with every agency it touches.

Feed scorecards: attention first, then alphabetical

Other California feed scorecards

95 more scorecards in California that this rollup's member list does not include. They are linked here so every California scorecard is reachable from this page, and they are not counted in any figure above.

Board reports for this group

Every agency listed above has a free, printable board one-pager on its own page, and always will. A program that needs all of them at once can buy them as one archive, branded with its own name and logo and refreshed monthly if it wants. A purchase buys no influence over grades, methodology, or which agencies are listed. The archive contains the same numbers published here.

One bundle, up to 25 agencies: $149, paid once, delivered within 2 business days or refunded. Other plans, including a monthly refresh, are on the bundle page.
