Pledge to Shift Your Ride#
Dust off your bike, dig out your walking shoes, it's time to pledge to Shift Your Ride!
It takes the whole community to make progress on our ambitious climate action goals. We know that transportation is the second-largest producer of greenhouse gases in Fort Collins, so making small changes in how you move around the community can add up to a big impact.
This spring, we hope you'll pledge to Shift Your Ride just one trip per week. For example, if you drive five times per week, try to shift one trip to bicycling, walking, transit, or carpooling to combine trips.
In addition, Shifting Your Ride can earn you points towards eligibility to great prizes as part of the City's Earth Day Challenge. Learn more about the Earth Day Challenge here.
