The City of Fort Collins is joining communities across the North Front Range for the Summer Moves Regional Challenge, an effort running June 1-30 to encourage residents and workers to skip solo drives and choose sustainable transportation.
Participants are invited to walk, bike, roll, ride transit, carpool or vanpool in place of trips they would normally drive. The challenge coincides with Summer Bike to Work Day on Tuesday, June 24.
“Summer Moves is one of the easiest ways to make a real difference for our air quality and our community,” says Jeff Puckett, transportation demand management specialist for the City of Fort Collins. “Whether you’re biking to work, walking to the grocery store or taking the bus to a weekend event, every trip you’d normally drive counts—and you might win a prize while you’re at it.”
Fort Collins residents and workers can participate through the Shift Your Ride Network, the city’s free trip-logging and incentive platform. Participants who log at least five trips during June will be entered into drawings for digital gift certificates worth up to $100 per person.
To sign up:
- Create a free Shift Your Ride Network account at mywaytogo.org/s/shift-your-ride.
- Optionally, download the Commute Tracker app by RideAmigos to log trips on the go.
- Beginning June 1, log in to find the Summer Moves Regional Challenge and start tracking trips.
The Summer Moves Regional Challenge is a partnership among North Front Range communities working together to reduce transportation-related air pollution. Driving alone remains the most common way Fort Collins employees get to work, according to the city’s 2025 Employee Travel Survey, but the same survey found that 17 percent of employees already use other options regularly and many more are open to making the switch.
