In this paper, we give a characterization of external activity by some parameters of $G$-parking functions. In particular, we give the definition of the bridge vertex of a $G$-parking function and obtain an expression of the Tutte polynomial $T_G(x,y)$ of $G$ in terms of $G$-parking functions. We find the Tutte polynomial enumerates the $G$-parking function by the number of the bridge vertices.Combinatoricstext
