In response to the problems of unclear and insufficient connection paths and depth between urban rail transit industry planning environmental impact assessment (EIA), project EIA, environmental acceptance, law enforcement supervision, and regional ecological environment zoning control (zoning control), this study summarizes the characteristics and key contents of rail transit planning EIA and project EIA. Referring to the linkage requirements of rail transit planning EIA and project EIA, the connotation of listbased management is analyzed, and the feasibility of implementing listbased environmental management in the rail transit industry was analyzed. Lists for zoning control, planning EIA, project EIA, environmental acceptance, and law enforcement supervision are developed. The connection paths and methods for listbased environmental management in the rail transit industry are proposed. Research has shown that inventory management is an important measure for improving environmental management in the rail transit industry and has the conditions for implementation. The zoning control, planning EIA, project EIA, environmental protection acceptance, and law enforcement inspection checklists transmit different management requirements from front to back, while providing feedback on different management effectiveness information from back to front. Through different management lists, the approval department, planning department, construction unit, evaluation unit, and law enforcement department can identify key points that their respective departments and units should focus on, implement environmental access and environmental protection measure requirements, and provide technical paths and methods for promoting comprehensive environmental management of the rail transit industry.
