Walk/Ride Days

Every last Friday of the month, Massachusetts comes together to walk, bike, and take transit. Since 2006, Walk/Ride Days have connected employers, schools, and neighborhoods around one simple idea: try an active trip.

How it works

Walk/Ride Days are open to everyone — individuals, employers, schools, and neighborhoods. No sign-up required, no minimum commitment.

Pick a Friday

The last Friday of every month is Walk/Ride Day. Choose your active mode — walk, bike, bus, subway, or carpool — and make the trip.

Bring your community

Employers host team challenges. Schools track classroom participation. Neighborhoods rally around shared routes and local landmarks.

See the impact

Every Walk/Ride Day generates real data — trips taken, miles covered, CO₂ avoided. Over time, those Fridays build into lasting commute habits.

Powered by Shift
