If you stick to walking, why even bother to track you? You're not going very far from your house that way. If you board a plane, rent a car, etc, you get tracked.

Contrary to internet opinion, you can still jump freight and hitchhike with long haulers in the US.

Might be wiser to use public transit.

Board an intercity train? I think you get tracked now, but I'm not certain. Intercity bus? I don't know. Intercity van? Probably not... but you might.

Public transit within a city? I don't think you get tracked for that.

From looking it up, looks like you need ID for anything commercial interstate (bus or rail).
