Literally speaking, transportation refers to the industry engaged in passenger and cargo transportation and language transmission, including transportation and post and telecommunications, which belongs to the tertiary industry in the national economy.

On the one hand, Jiaotong University's "traffic" comes from the "heaven and earth are connected, everything is connected" in the Book of Changes, covering all directions of the universe through the ages.

On the other hand, the competent department was the Ministry of Communications during the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, the functions of the Ministry of Communications included "tangible transportation" such as public utilities and road administration, and "intangible transportation" such as trade, foreign exchange, postal services, telecommunications and tourism. These two intentions of "traffic" imply that Jiaotong University is a comprehensive university.
