Service standards reporting
A service standards report you can rerun when the schedule changes.
Marga checks the scheduled headways in your GTFS feed against your agency's configured standards, and shows the target, calculation, and source behind every result.
Use it for
- Recurring standards reporting
- Board decision evidence
- Documenting service needs
- Repeatable performance review
Each service type, checked against its own standard.

From finding to evidence
A finding is the start of the review.
Add context
Review ridership, Census, access, and operating evidence.
Keep the record
Preserve sources, assumptions, methods, and limits.
Same inputs, same result. AI explains the analysis; it does not calculate it.
Your service standards
Ready to make the next performance review repeatable?
Start with your current GTFS feed and configured headway standards. Marga keeps the report traceable and makes ridership, Census, economics, and selected NTD context available when a finding needs further review.
Standards not yet organized? Marga can inventory published policy and identify what still requires agency confirmation. Suggested targets are never treated as agency standards automatically.
