Data stories about cities and transportation

About Me

I’m Ethan, and I started Routed in Place in May 2025 as my personal sandbox for exploring open data on cities and transportation. I currently live in Providence, RI with my partner and our two cats. 

I am a geospatial data analyst by profession. In 2024, I started working at MassDOT and the MBTA, where I develop transportation performance metrics and reporting solutions. Previously, I did applied demographic and economic research with the Planning Department at the City of Boston. 

Many of the topics I cover in my blog are inspired by current or past work. However, all opinions expressed here are my own and do not express the views or opinions of my employer. 

For any suggestions or questions, feel free to reach out to me via email (mail@routedinplace.info).
