Shift by Green Streets Initiative detects your walks, bike rides, and transit trips automatically — no tapping, no logging, no thinking about it. Your commute earns you real rewards while you move.
See your real impact
Every active trip shows you money saved, calories burned, and CO2 prevented — translated into equivalencies like trees planted.
Earn rewards
Earn Shift Experience Points (XP) on every walk, bike ride, and transit trip. Find rewards from local businesses.
Stay motivated with streaks and badges
Build daily streaks with a forgiving 2-day grace period. Unlock badges for distance milestones, trying new modes, and braving bad weather. Progress through five tiers from Starter to Trailblazer.
Compete with your community
Join your neighborhood, workplace, or school automatically. Climb leaderboards and enter monthly challenges. Challenges are based on "shift rate" — the percentage of your trips you walk, bike, or ride transit — so everyone competes fairly.
Discover new ways to get around
Browse community events, explore personalized route suggestions, and read guides that help you try walking, biking, or transit for trips you haven't before.
Shift for Schools
Teachers can run classroom walking and biking challenges with a simple wall chart — no student accounts or devices needed. Parents see school standings on the web or right in the app.
How it works
Shift uses background location to detect and log your trips automatically — no manual input needed. Your points, stats, and streaks update as you go.
Free to use. No ads. No subscriptions. Built by Green Streets Initiative, a nonprofit promoting active transportation since 2006.
Great way to get a little push to shift to better modes of transit, and it doesn’t take any real effort - the app tracks and logs everything automatically.
Must have app for frequent commuters

Excellent walk/bike/transit tracking app
luna alr
The tracking of all my trips in this app is helpful. I appreciate the encouragement to not drive - earning prizes is fun and easy.
Add any event to your calendar with one tap. Plan a route straight from Home, and see the Bluebikes docks at each end of your ride. Stop details show how far the walk is and let you pin a line for live departures. Easier rewards catalog filters. On Android, import walks and rides from Health Connect. Plus the refreshed Home, Around You, rewards and group ride tools from recent updates, now built in.
