TrLogo du Developpement durableansport Canada, like other federal departments, is required to prepare a sustainable development strategy (SDS) every three years. On February 16, 2004, the department's third strategy - Sustainable Development Strategy 2004-2006 was tabled in Parliament. 

The first strategy provided a sound foundation for integrating environmental considerations into the work of the department.

In the second strategy, Transport Canada adopted a set of sustainable development principles and made specific commitments to action. 

The third strategy brings more precision to the concept of sustainability, and defines seven challenges and 32 specific commitments for the next three years.

The third strategy reflects the outcomes of cross-Canada consultations with a broad range of transportation stakeholders.
