particularly on the rapid network. where 88% of our trips are within our headway goal. what i mean by that is if the rapid network typically runs every five to eight minutes. what that means is 88% of the time customers are not strong wait more than 12 or 13 minutes for a bus. on the rail side, we are kind of hovering at our short-term target of 20%. but what that means is 20% of the time we're experiencing gaps in the rail network that could be up to 15 minutes. we still have more work to do there. during the construction we've been watching service on the "t" busses. we set a goal of 85% of our trips being within a 12-minute window and we are hitting that target. we are not hitting our target on our more infrequent routes. we had five in february meeting the target. but as a staff we're reviewing the data weekly. we review it with you monthly but we review it on a closer time frame. in our most recent review we looked at these routes and tried to understand we could do we weren't already doing and last week we did see a pretty big bump closer to the 63% on the infrequ
