Welcome to [move]worcester

A look of downtown Worcester from the Glass Tower.

Hello! My name is Nate, and I am a Civil Engineering and Professional Writing student at WPI. This is my fourth year in Worcester, and I’d like to think I’ve learned a thing or two about getting around. I use basically every mode of transportation on a weekly basis: I walk to school, I ride an e-scooter to work, I drive to the climbing gym, I take the bus downtown, and I take the train into Boston.

I’ve been a transit and urban planning nerd since my high school years and spend a lot of my time thinking about transit, housing, and walkability. Since starting college, I’ve amassed a backlog of takes about urban design and transportation in the city, so, I’ve started this blog to get it all off my chest and hopefully get my thoughts out to a wider audience. These articles will stay free for everyone, but if you want to support the blog, please subscribe for free or pledge a paid subscription in the future:

To celebrate the start of the blog, two articles are already posted along with this one. The first is a discussion about the Worcester bus system’s “hub and spoke” model, and the second is my thoughts on a recent street change downtown. I think these two articles illustrate the types of posts you will see on here moving forward. Hope you enjoy!
