Research Task - Monthly NTD, adjust deploy_portfolio_yaml script

[csuyat-dot]

Research Task

currently the portfolio site YAML for the Monthly NTD report is generated by the deploy_portfolio_yaml script. The script uses the ntd_id_to_rtpa_crosswalk function to query all the unique RTPA names out of the warehouse and generates a chapter for each RTPA.

However, not every RTPA in the state produces monthly reporters. Resulting in some pages in the monthly report with 0 operators and no visuals. Currently each chapter has a narrative explaining how some RTPAs may not have anything to report, but with the latest update from #1533 there are more blank pages than before.

Explore updating the deploy_portfolio_yaml script to exclude RTPAs with zero data. Possibly replacing the ntd_id_to_rtpa_crosswalk function with the RTPAs used in the specific report data? Can an argument be added to specific which report data to use?

maybe turn the current if name == main portion into a function that take a path as an argument. something like

def main(portfolio_site_yaml): 
....porfolio_uils.create_portfolio_yaml_chapters_no_section(
portfolio_site_yaml, chapter_name...

then enter the specific path in terminal/Makefile? python deploy_portfolio_yaml ../portfolio/sites/ntd_monthly_ridership.yml
