摘要：	Aiming to draw attention to progressive and innovative traffic management practices that could be viable in similar locations or situations, this report features five model small communities. The examples have been selected in order to achieve a balance of varying population sizes, traffic management solution types, and geographical locations. Monrovia, California (pop. 37,000) was experiencing collisions or near-misses between emergency vehicles and motorists at intersections. In response, the city deployed an emergency vehicle preemption and visual warning system. Towson, Maryland (pop. 52,000) constructed a modern roundabout to improve a dangerous, congested, five-way signalized intersection at the city center. Mount Desert Island, Maine (pop. 10,000), home to Acadia National Park, instituted a seasonal shuttle bus service to permit continued growth in tourism without continued growth in traffic congestion and vehicle emissions. Orem, Utah (pop. 84,000) installed a computerized traffic signal coordination system to improve traffic congestion in the central business district. And Aspen, Colorado (pop. 8,000) established a nonprofit car sharing organization to reduce the parking demand, in a community where demand for residential parking exceeds supply.
