3 more WW-P schools get our safety message
Thursday, January 29 by silvia
The West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance spread its safety messages to three more schools in our district this month.
A look back at all we accomplished in 2025
Tuesday, December 30 by silvia
As we ring out 2025, join us in a quick look back at the year. Here’s how the WWBPA, in big and small ways, continued to transform West Windsor into a community that’s more inviting for all those who want to walk, run and bicycle.
Make yourself seen: #TagThatBag
Friday, October 31 by silvia
Our clocks “fall back” on Sunday morning. So darkness will come even earlier — making it even more important that you are visible when out walking, running or biking.
So join the WWBPA’s campaign to #TagThatBag.

Wednesday, October 24 by silvia
Dressed up for the market in 2011
Trick-or-treating is fun, but it’s not just spooky out there — it’s dark! We challenge you to incorporate some reflective material in your kids’ costumes or even goody bag, so you don’t have to worry that they won’t be seen by motorists as they dart across the street for more treats.
Plus, the WWBPA has a treat for those who do and take part in the farmers’ market Halloween parade (10 a.m. this Saturday): a glow-in-the-dark bracelet. Treats also for those who decorate their bikes! Just stop by our booth to show off your trick.
Three more safety reason to come to the farmers’ market: the Princeton Junction Fire Department will be there with a truck, the Twin W squad will bring an ambulance and rescue squad rig, and the West Windsor Police Department will be there too.

Saturday, December 3 by JerryFoster
The WWBPA partnered with the Princeton Joint Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee to promote nighttime visibility recently, at St. Paul’s? church in Princeton. We were able to take advantage of their excellent audio/visual facilities in the basement meeting room, with about 15 people attending.
Thanks to our Princeton partners and to our volunteers, especially Lenora,
one of our members, who gave the safety presentation in Spanish, and was very good at engaging the audience. Thanks also to the Hunterdon Area Resources for Transportation (HART) Transportation Management Association, who developed the base of our bilingual presentation.
Promoting Nighttime Visibility Thanks to WW Police
Monday, November 21 by JerryFoster
WWBPA trustees and volunteers were at St. Anthony’s of Padua church in Hightstown on Sunday to promote the need for bicyclists and pedestrians to be seen at night. Thanks to a generous donation by the West Windsor Policemen’s Benevolent Association, we were able to offer lights, reflective visibility gear (from vests to simple reflective tape) and helmets for below cost. Thanks to everyone who participated, and to the PBA!
These events are important to get people who walk and/or ride their bikes to work in the dark to be more visible to motorists, and therefore safer. The event was very well attended, and more are planned. If you’d like us to come to your organization, please contact us at [email protected].

Tuesday, October 4 by silvia
We have lots of copies of this government poster that we think makes a strong case for walkers, joggers and bicyclists to wear reflective material at night. We’ve put up a few in town and are displaying it at the farmers’ market … but where else should there be one?
Help us get them up by asking your church, synagogue, sports facility, employer, etc if one can go up and we’ll make sure we get it to you to bring in. Anywhere we can get out the safety message is a good l\ocation. We’d like to see them in places other than West Windsor too.
The poster is on the large size — 20″ across by 24″ tall.
