“The program allows people to log their trips around town online. Every month, if participants shift two trips a week — replacing solo car trips with carpools, walking, biking, scooters or public transit — they will be eligible for discounts at some local businesses and be entered into monthly gift card raffles.”
SINGLE SOURCE
All web search results for this claim are unrelated to the Shift2 program. The cited sources discuss academic journals, task completion apps, and gift card sales, providing no evidence about trip logging or reward mechanisms.
