This paper presents an analytical method to environmental value (EV) of green traffic means. Urban rail transport (URT), cycling, walking, such as green traffic means, play an important role in the urban traffic system. But green commuting is something rare in most China cities, as people find it hard to integrate their own healthy and environmentally friendly ways with the local government. With analyzing environmental value's fundamental reasons, the paper points out the problems revealed in the compensation of EV operational mode in green traffic means. Results indicate that the proposed method creates a Pareto improvement, reduces the pollution of the environment, and raises the efficiency of mass traffic. The major contribution of this study lies in developing a formal analysis framework for the EV of green traffic means.
