Make Adjustments

Bus Stop Adjustor Definitions
⚠️ IF NEEDED MAKE ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments to the bus stop audit are made to alter slightly, especially to ensure precision. Accuracy in scores is the priority.
✔️ ADJUSTMENTS ARE ACCEPTABLE
Adjustments are allowed when they improve scoring accuracy, correct inconsistencies, or reflect real‑world safety conditions more precisely.
🛠️ EXAMPLE: “NO SIDEWALK – ADD LIGHTING”
Typing a condition (e.g., No sidewalk) followed by an improvement (e.g., Add lighting) triggers an adjustment to the score.
📘 ADJUSTOR (DEFINED)
An adjustor is a rule or modifier applied to a bus stop audit score to correct, refine, or enhance accuracy based on observed conditions.
