Shift Transit was founded as a bikesharing operations company and has quickly become the leading bikeshare operator in North America. Shift Transit oversees all operational aspects of bikeshare systems, including site planning, station and bike deployment, bike maintenance, fleet rebalancing, marketing and sales, and customer service. We currently manage 16,000+ docks, 11,500 bikes, 2,000 scooters and 900+ stations.

Since then, the program has expanded multiple times in the last six years, with the system footprint (stations) expanding by more than 240% to date. Ridership continues to grow exponentially year-over-year. The introduction of e-bikes in 2019 has also positively impacted ridership, customer experience and program growth. To keep up with the pace of demand, our team now includes 120+ employees.
Since then, the program has expanded its footprint by 70% and into five new Detroit-area cities. In addition, the program features 100 e-bikes, which account for more than 30% of all trips, even though they make up less than 10% of the fleet.
Shift Transit’s executives have more than 30 years of experience operating large-scale bikeshare programs in major N.A. cities, including NYC, Chicago, Washington, DC, Boston, and Toronto. Our CEO was the inaugural General Manager for the Divvy program in Chicago and also served as the COO for the largest bikesharing company in the country.

How can we help launch or transition your service?
Shift Transit replaced the system’s previous operator with less than 60 days to prepare and did so without any disruptions in service. The team flawlessly executed a 300-point transition plan to prepare for the service takeover.
We hired 3X the number of existing staff, procured new vehicles for bike deployment and rebalancing, transitioned to a new call center, and overhauled the marketing strategy.
