In order to achieve the goal of “double carbon” and reduce the carbon emissions from transport in Shandong Province, the top-down method was used to measure the carbon emissions from transport based on the statistical data of Shandong Province from 2010-2022, and the main factors affecting the carbon emissions from transport in Shandong Province were analyzed by the STIRPAT model. Based on the statistical data of Shandong Province from 2010 to 2022, the transport carbon emissions were measured by the “top-down” method, and the main factors affecting the transport carbon emissions in Shandong Province were analyzed by STIRPAT model. The results show that transport carbon emissions in Shandong Province are relatively large, and that there is a positive correlation between per capita GDP, urbanization rate, comprehensive conversion turnover and energy structure and transport carbon emissions. Carbon emissions from transport in Shandong Province are still on the rise, and the future direction of carbon reduction and emission reduction should start from the optimization of energy structure, the optimization of industrial structure, and the optimization of transport structure.
