FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The City of Fort Collins is joining communities across the North Front Range for the Summer Moves Regional Challenge, a month-long effort running June 1 through June 30, 2026 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, 2026. "Summer Moves is one of the easiest ways to make a real difference for our air quality and our community," City of Fort Collins Transportation Demand Management Specialist Jeff Puckett said. "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:
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% of employees already use other options regularly, and many more are open to making the switch.
