Finding gaps in Bay Area transit accessibility data
Seamless Bay Area highlighted BlinkTag’s GTFS accessibility report in its 2024 review of accessibility across regional transit. Journey-planning apps rely on agency data to tell riders about wheelchair access, and missing information can make a trip harder to plan.
“The majority of Bay Area transit operators report wheelchair accessible stops, but there are gaps in other data.”
We built a report that checks Bay Area transit feeds daily for accessibility information, including wheelchair-accessibility fields and text-to-speech data. It makes gaps visible so agencies and their data vendors can identify information that needs attention.
The report checks what agencies publish in their feeds; it does not certify the physical accessibility of stops, stations, or vehicles, or the accessibility of an entire website.
