Tell Us Your Story. What motivated you to start your business? Why are you passionate about what you do?

Shift Delivery contributes to a healthier city by replacing conventional trucks with pedal powered trikes and electric cargo vehicles. Zero tailpipe emissions are emitted and each trike uses less electricity than a typical household dryer per year.

Describe and demonstrate, including metrics, your community support. How do you support and uplift your community, and how do they show that support in return? Minimum 25 words, maximum 2500 characters.

We are structured as a worker co-operative, which means that our staff democratically own and operate Shift together. This opens an opportunity for young folks to join and own a company. It creates opportunity and we support small businesses with special rates and we go the extra (last) mile for our partners.
