Abstract: Abstract This paper use three-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to evaluate the change of transport freight efficiency. In this paper, the panel data of 31 provinces listed in Chinese transport freight market from 2015 to 2019 were used. Empirically, it was found that the road freight transport was affected by the environmental protection measurements. Under the influence of environmental factors, the level of road freight transport in most provinces has been a significant increase. A deep analysis showed that technical efficiency of environmental conservation was a main impetus for the total efficiency of road freight growth. According to the research results, the relevant improvement strategies were proposed for the future policy implication.
