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 98.5%, median lag 15s.

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.
Set wheelchair_boarding to 1 (accessible) or 2 (not accessible) for every stop. A field survey can start with the busiest stops. · Read the fix guide
Set wheelchair_accessible on every trip. If every vehicle is accessible, this may be one default; otherwise use the value for each trip. · Read the fix guide
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. · Read the fix guide
