This study aims at analyzing the coordination between comprehensive transportation and social development at the regional level in China. Firstly the country (Hongkong, Macao, Taiwan are not included) is zoned into 9 regions according to its administrative partitions. Then the main indexes (operational index &infrastructure development index) for evaluating comprehensive transportation were selected and analyzed using factor analysis and principal component analysis methods. Regional comprehensive transportation systems were evaluated by using these indexes, and obvious disparities among different regional systems were found. The coordination of the comprehensive transport systems and social development of each region was analyzed, using the results of evaluation and HDI (Human Development Index). The results showed that the vulnerable relationship exists between the two. Furthermore, the paper proposed some advices for future development.
