contents To understand the onset of collective motion, we investigate active systems where particles switch on and off their self-propulsion. We prove that even when the only possible transition is off$\to$on, an active 2-state system behaves as an effective 3-state system that exhibits a sharp phase transition in 1D, and critical behavior in 2D, with scale-invariant activity avalanches. The obtained results show how criticality can naturally emerge in active systems, providing insight into the way collectives distribute, process, and respond to local environmental cues.
