Green Streets Initiative helps people shift trips to healthier, more affordable, more fun alternatives — and measures the impact, trip by trip, community by community Shift Your Summer is an 8-week active transportation challenge, open to anyone in Massachusetts, that encourages people to walk, bike, and ride transit all summer long. The Shift app automatically detects active trips — no manual log

Massachusetts has some incredible trails — and this summer, exploring them comes with something extra.

The MassTrails 10 is a curated set of ten shared-use trails across the state, selected by MassDOT and DCR. The Battle Road Trail, the Shining Sea Bikeway, and eight more worth the trip.

Through August 15, complete any of them as a Roam in the Shift app and you'll earn entries toward a Segway e-bike and more than $5,000 in prizes. Hit all ten and you'll unlock the Trail Master badge — plus 50 bonus entries.

Open Shift, find the MassTrails 10 collection, and get out there. See you on the trail.

Heads up: the 89, 90, and 101 buses are detoured 11 AM–8 PM during the festival, so map your route before you head out.
