Public Rail Safety Policy 

Level crossings are a hazard and we have developed policies to provide effective protection for rail and road vehicles, and pedestrians at level crossings.

The 2008 Rail Safety Awareness Week was the second to be held in conjunction with the Australasian Rail Association. The objective was to lift awareness of rail safety not only in the main centres but in remoter areas as well. The participating organisations – ONTRACK, KiwiRail, NZ Transport Agency, Chris Cairns Foundation - tried to ensure we covered both the North and South Islands as well as getting outside the main centres.
