I-90 can also be reached via a connecting segment of Route 146.

Worcester is also served by several smaller Massachusetts state highways.
Route 9 links the city to its eastern and western suburbs, Shrewsbury and Leicester.
Route 9 runs almost the entire length of the state, connecting Boston and Worcester with Pittsfield, near the New York state border.
Route 12 was the primary route north to Leominster and Fitchburg until the completion of I-190.
Route 12 also connected Worcester to Webster before I-395 was completed.
It still serves as an alternate, local route.
Route 146, the Worcester-Providence Turnpike, connects the city with the similar city of Providence, Rhode Island.
Route 20 touches the southernmost tip of Worcester near the Massachusetts Turnpike.
Route 20 is a coast-to-coast route connecting the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, and is the longest road in the United States.

Worcester is the headquarters of the Providence and Worcester, a Class II railroad operating throughout much of southern New England.
Worcester is also the western terminus of the Framingham/Worcester commuter rail line run by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
Union Station serves as the hub for commuter railway traffic.
Built in 1911, the station has been restored to its original grace and splendor, reopening to full operation in 2000.
It also serves as an Amtrak stop, serving the Lake Shore Limited from Boston to Chicago.
In October 2008, the MBTA added 5 new trains to the Framingham/Worcester line as part of a plan to add 20 or more trains from Worcester to Boston and also to buy the track from CSX Transportation.
Train passengers may also connect to additional services such as the Vermonter line in Springfield.

The Worcester Regional Transit Authority, or WRTA, manages the municipal bus system.
Buses operate intracity as well as connect Worcester to surrounding central Massachusetts communities.
Worcester is also served by OurBus, Peter Pan Bus Lines and Greyhound Bus Lines, which operate out of Union Station.

Worcester Regional Airport (ORH), owned and operated by Massport since 2010, lies at the top of Tatnuck Hill, Worcester's highest point.
The airport has two runways, their lengths are 7,000 ft (2,100 m) and 5,000 ft (1,500 m), and a $15.7 million terminal.
The airport was serviced by numerous airlines from the 1950s through the 1990s, but since then has encountered years of spotty commercial service.
