Transport Canada's Sustainable Development Strategy 2007-2009 responds to key issues and focuses on areas where the department can make a real difference towards achieving sustainable transportation. The department has chosen to focus its efforts on three themes at the heart of sustainable transportation: urban transportation; commercial freight transportation; and marine transportation. Key issues and a response plan have been developed for each theme.
The strategy includes an action plan, which is structured around seven strategic challenges:
1) Encourage Canadians to make more sustainable transportation choices;
2) Enhance innovation and skills development;
3) Increase system efficiency and optimize modal choices;
4) Enhance efficiency of vehicles, fuels and fuelling infrastructure;
5) Improve performance of carriers and operators;
6) Improve decision‑making by governments and the transportation sector; and
7) Improve management of Transport Canada operations and lands.
For each strategic challenge, Transport Canada has outlined the sustainable development commitments, targets and performance measures the department will use to measure the success.
