We present a high-order upwind finite volume element method to solve optimal control problems governed by first-order hyperbolic equations. The method is efficient and easy for implementation. Both the semi-discrete error estimates and the fully discrete error estimates are derived. Optimal order error estimates in the sense of   $L^{2}$ -norm are obtained. Numerical examples are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the method and the theoretical results.
