Number 2, on transportation to the courts.

I think we all want the transportation to work because you know, we want the percentage of those individuals at record to go down for every reason.

3:17:57

So I know it's a preliminary MMR stated 98% compliance.

3:18:03

I was a little surprised.

3:18:04

I'm ahead of of of the investigations, you know, oversight and investigations.

3:18:10

And that division, thank you to the department, has been keeping track of this and has been on a actual tour with the bus.

3:18:18

So people for whatever reason sometimes decide they don't wanna go to court, for whatever reason, the experience that day, getting up so early, etcetera.

3:18:28

So I'm a little surprised at that 98%.

3:18:31

How do you calculate that?

3:18:33

In other words, maybe it doesn't include the people who don't wanna go at all.

3:18:38

How does that 98% get calculated?

3:18:40

And do you think this is an issue transportation to court?

So the number 98%, it also includes the individuals who have refused I think that the transportation division has worked incredibly hard in this initiative.

3:18:57

They actually work closely with OCA.

3:19:00

They collaborated and built a dashboard to sort of track people as they come to court in real time for their scheduled appointments.

3:19:08

This work is ongoing, but I've seen very the transportation division has worked very hard to ensure people are being transported to court on time.
