Transport policy making process of national and local governments should be supported by a comprehensive database to ensure sustainable and healthy development of urban public transport. China National Urban Transit Database (CNUTD) has been built to play such a role. This paper is to make an introduction of CNUTD framework including different user’s demands, sustainable data exchange mechanism from different level and application modules. Considering the urban transport development features of Chinese cities, sustainable urban transport development indicators are proposed to evaluate public transport service level in Chinese cities.
