Combined with the new requirements of high-quality economic development for the transportation industry, this paper improves the total factor productivity(TFP) index system from the perspective of economic, social and environmental factors. This paper selects panel data of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2007 to 2018, uses the Super-efficiency Slack Based Model and GML index to make a comprehensive evaluation and analysis on the change of TFP in China’s transportation industry. The empirical results show that the new green TFP can more objectively reflect the economic growth and technological progress of the transportation industry after the environmental factors and social costs are included in the evaluation system. During the sample study period, the TFP of the transportation industry shows a trend of first decreasing and then significantly increasing. Moreover, the empirical results varies significantly among provinces and regions, and the TFP value of the eastern region is obviously better than that of the central and western regions. Finally, this paper gives policy suggestions on how to promote the high-quality development of transportation industry in different regions.
