contents In this paper, we show that a periodically driven Aubry-André-Harper model with imbalanced on-site gain/loss supports universal one-way transport that is immune to impurities and independent of initial excitations. We reveal the underlying mechanism that the periodic driving gives rise to the non-Hermitian skin effect in the effective Floquet Hamiltonian, thereby causing universal non-reciprocal transport. Additionally, we probe the time-average decay rate of the propagator under long-time bulk dynamics as a signature of the Floquet emergent non-Hermitian skin effect. Our results provide a feasible and controllable way to realize universal one-way transport that is easily accessible to experiments.
