Abstract: In this paper, we define a reduced distance function based at a point at the singular time $T<infty$ of a Ricci flow. We also show the monotonicity of the corresponding reduced volume based at time T, with equality iff the Ricci flow is a gradient shrinking soliton. Our curvature bound assumption is more general than the type I condition.
