Walking, biking & transit in Danvers
See the routes Danvers neighbors actually walk, ride and take transit on, what's happening locally, and how the town is trending — built from real trips logged in the Shift app.
Shift Rate so far in August: share of active transportation trips (walk, micromobility, transit). Danvers joins the Massachusetts board once it logs 20+ trips in a month.
Counts cover August 1 through today, based on trips logged by Shift community members that start or end in Danvers— a growing sample, meant as an interesting local signal, not an official or census-level count. *CO₂ avoided is estimated from active miles traveled (EPA 404 g/mi baseline).
