Abstract: From the perspective of comprehensive transportation, this paper puts forward three types of comprehensive evaluation indicators for low-carbon transport development, i.e., the transportation energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions per unit of transportation turnover, per unit of added-value of transport industry, as well as per capita. The empirical study using these indicators is conducted on both China's national and regional levels. The results indicate that, for one thing, the transportation energy consumption and carbon emissions per unit of transportation turnover and per unit of added-value of transportation industry see continual decline during 1996—2010, while those of per capita witness an increase, which reflects the growing demand of motorization. For another, there are significant disparities between different provinces in China in terms of each indicator. In addition, middle and western provinces appear relatively backward in terms of the low-carbon transportation.
