The West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance’s newest board member is Prabhat Hegde, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. A regular bike commuter, Prabhat is passionate about using his operations research skills to make transportation more sustainable and efficient.
He also is enthusiastic about bike buses and how they can help children travel to school together safely while also having fun.
Having lived in India, France, and Germany, he has enjoyed cycling in the Western Ghats, the Loire Valley, and along Germany’s Südliche Weinstraße. He looks forward to exploring more of New Jersey by bike. Prabhat lives in West Windsor with his wife Kate, and they hope to collectively make communities safer for biking and walking.
Prabhat replaces Stephen Foley on the WWBPA board. His term expires in March 2028.

Check out this new slideshow?by our former trustee, Silvia Ascarelli. It talks about some things you may not know about bike sharing programs in cities in the US and around the world. I learned about bike share in smaller communities, which I’d not known about before. If we had some bikes available for bike share in West Windsor or Princeton or Plainsboro, where would YOU put the docking stations? Where would you want to borrow a bike to go to or from?
