What is this?
Shift is a free app from Green Streets Initiative, a nonprofit that has celebrated walking, biking, and transit since 2006. Shift automatically counts your walks, rides, and transit trips — every trip adds to Somerville's totals on this page, earns you rewards at local businesses, and enters you into seasonal prize drawings.
