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.

Back in the fall, the WWBPA arranged a “walk and talk” with Mercer County’s engineer to discuss the new multi-use path on Edinburg Road by Mercer County Park. Part of the feedback was the need for pedestrian-activated flashing lights (rectangular rapid-flashing beacons to engineers) at the new crosswalk from Howell Court to help residents safely cross Edinburg Road (a county road).
