In order to measure the urban traffic occupying natural resources and energy and influencing to the ecological environment, the paper, for the first time, has applied the ecological footprint (EF) theory to the transportation and founded a perfect model of traffic EF. Taking Wuhan city for example, the paper has also calculated the EF and ecological efficiency (EE) of passenger traffic system, and then found out the vehicle with optimal EE. By making comparison with the EE and ecological pressure (EP) of passenger traffic in Xi’an, Beijing and Shenyang, it was found that the EE of passenger traffic in Wuhan was much lower, and it was encountering great EP. Therefore, it was significant to optimize the structure of passenger traffic and enhance the proportion of green transportation.
