The actual solution for Boston to Worcester (as intended by Roadgeekteen) is enter I-93 from Science Park MTBA station in order to not touch US 1, then I-495 and I-290.

As for NYC to Poughkeepsie, use Hutchinson River Parkway to I-684 to NY 22 to NY 55.

Now for a tricky one: Rock Springs to Evanston (both in Wyoming) without touching any Interstate.

That's taking the long way sir, and IMO you can touch banned routes without using them (unless a concurrency is required), even if using mass transit. That's why I recommended using Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited (which partially runs on track owned and operated by the MBTA) between Boston's South Station and Worcester's Union Station, or using the MBTA's Framingham/Worcester Line between Boston's South Station and Worcester's Union Station.
That ruins the spirit of the game though

Chicago to Detroit, I-75, I-90, I-94, and Amtrak are banned.

Boston to Worcester: I still think MA 30 most of the way would be faster than going all the way around.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

So what? Did you even notice that a few of the prior answers allowed touching of, and even long/short concurrencies with, banned routes? C'mon, man!

I agree with you on this one, despite not recalling having this option available.

There is a concurrency of I-93 and US 1. And I went that way because I didn't notice MA 30, as it's not that highlighted in OpenStreetMap :banghead:.
