Hello all,

For my JOUR 475 class, I am writing an article on the Newberg Transportation System Plan (TSP), a continuing project dedicated to improving the roads and transportation in the Newberg area.

I am trying to find out what mode of transportation and what roads are regularly traveled by students, as well as what percentage pay Oregon taxes. Answering all questions would help me greatly.

Thanks!
