Realtime health 3 monitored
All 3 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 16s.

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. Prices are on that page. A purchase buys no influence over grades, methodology, or which agencies are listed. The archive contains the same numbers published here.
