Walking, biking & transit in Everett
See the routes Everett neighbors actually walk, ride and take transit on, what's happening locally, and how the town is trending — built from real trips logged in the Shift app.
#9 of 16 Massachusetts towns by Shift Rate so far in September: share of active transportation trips (walk, micromobility, transit).
Counts cover September 1 through today, based on trips logged by Shift community members that start or end in Everett— a growing sample, meant as an interesting local signal, not an official or census-level count. *CO₂ avoided is estimated from active miles traveled (EPA 404 g/mi baseline).

Everett Reconnected: Sweetser Circle study
The MBTA and the City of Everett are studying how Route 16 (Revere Beach Parkway), Route 99 (Broadway), and Main Street come together at Sweetser Circle. The survey asks how you move through the area today and where you're headed, so the designs make walking, biking, and transit connections easier. Open for responses through Friday, September 25.
