交通 refers to Confucian idea of "Great Community", and has nothing to do with transport or communication.

Editor: "交通 refers to Confucian idea of "Great Community""
Any evidence for that? Perhaps you are thinking of 大同:
"in the 1920s and 1930s China's early communist leaders referred often to another Confucian concept, datong, or “great community”"

"has nothing to do with transport or communication"
Wp ~ When the Republic of China was founded, the college was run by the Ministry of Communications and its name was once again changed, this time to Government Institute of Technology of the Communications Ministry.
