8月9日交通部长迈克尔·伍德在启动铁路安全周时说:″尽管撞车次数和几近失事的数量有所下降，但新西兰人需要比以往更加警惕火车。在过去四年中，与人和车辆的碰撞和险些失车数量都下降了 40 以上。但随着政府履行承诺，投资铁路和创造就业机会，作为COVID-19经济复苏计划的一部分，在未来几年将有更多的列车运行”。
一个单一的死亡或严重的伤害太多。在过去十年中，有163人死于与火车的碰撞。每个统计数据的背后都是一个人，有谁，朋友和同事。与火车相撞是可以避免的。每当我们穿过铁路走廊时，我们都需要保持警惕，遵守标志，警钟和路障，并花时间检查火车。自 2018 年以来，政府继续使水平交叉口更加安全，全国升级了 70 多个水平交叉口。这些措施正在改善我们的城市中心和区域的安全，并正在计划进行更多的升级。鉴于新西兰铁路安全局的研究发现，大多数与火车相撞事件发生在省和农村地区，今年的铁路安全周活动旨在提高农村地区的铁路安全意识，这是恰当的. Michael Wood 说：”新西兰全境约有 3，000 个水平交叉口，我们所有人都必须小心谨慎，以便在一天结束的时候能够安全回家”。 铁路安全周从2021年8月9日至8月15日。它由新西兰铁路公司和新西兰铁路公司与新西兰瓦卡·科塔希、新西兰警察、奥克兰交通局、特兰斯德夫奥克兰、大惠灵顿地区议会、特兰斯德夫惠灵顿和新西兰各地议会密切合作。政府正在履行振兴铁路和创造就业机会的承诺。这包括:重新开通威罗亚至纳皮尔线。奥克兰第三条干线（维里码头公园）正在建设中电气化将从帕帕库拉扩展到普科赫。德鲁里未来的火车站，以支持住房发展面向未来，建设奥克兰城市铁路线。使奥克兰以北的铁路线恢复到零开始， 以帮助移动货运，让 15 列新的电动火车进入奥克兰不断增长的网络。 开始特惠亚-怀卡托到奥克兰通勤服务，开始向帕默斯顿北部区域经济增长中心迈进。双跟踪特伦瑟姆和上赫特之间的铁路线。通过关键的维护工作，将怀拉帕生产线从恶化中拯救。引进新的货车和火车来取代老化的资产，投资整个铁路网的基本维护工作，使KiwiRail能够承担大约150名新的轨道工作人员，包括一批受训人员。 在达尼丁和基督城举办国内讲习班，以创造当地就业机会、青年培训机会和重建专门知识。2018 财年，共发生 54 起碰撞事故，405 起险些失事，2021 财年降至 31 起，近 227 起。截至2021年6月30日，在水平交叉口发生了三起死亡事件。在公路一级交叉口与车辆相撞的次数减少了一半以上（从2018财年的29起减少到21财年的12起）。
Keep track of your surroundings this Rail Safety Week
August 9，Despite a drop in the number of collisions and near misses, Kiwis need to be more alert around trains than ever before, Transport Minister Michael Wood said while launching Rail Safety Week.“The number of collisions and near misses with people and vehicles have both fallen by more than 40 per cent over the last four years. But with the Government delivering on its commitment to invest in rail and create jobs as part of the COVID-19 economic recovery plan, there will be more trains running in the coming years,” Michael Wood said. “A single death or serious injury is one too many. Over the last decade, 163 people have died in collisions with trains. Behind each statistic is a person, with whānau, friends and colleagues. “Collisions with trains are avoidable. Whenever we cross the rail corridor we all need to be alert, obey signs, warning bells and barriers, and take the time to check for trains. “The Government is continuing to make level crossings safer with more than 70 level crossings upgraded around the country since 2018. These are improving safety in our urban centres and regions, and more upgrades are being planned. “It’s appropriate this year’s Rail Safety Week campaign is aimed at raising rail safety awareness in rural areas given TrackSAFE NZ’s research has found that the majority of collisions with trains happen in provincial and rural areas. “With around 3,000 level crossings throughout New Zealand, we all have to take care and be patient so we can get home safely at the end of the day,” Michael Wood said. Rail Safety Week runs from 9 August until 15 August 2021. It is coordinated by KiwiRail and TrackSAFE NZ in close partnership with Waka Kotahi, NZ Police, Auckland Transport, Transdev Auckland, Greater Wellington Regional Council, Transdev Wellington and councils throughout New Zealand. The Government is delivering on its commitment to revitalise rail and create jobs. This includes:re-opening the Wairoa to Napier lineconstruction is underway on a third main line in Auckland (Wiri to Quay Park)electrification will be extended from Papakura to Pukekohe。future rail stations at Drury to support housing development。 future-proofing and building Auckland’s City Rail Link，bringing the rail line north of Auckland back up to scratch to help move freight。getting 15 new electric trains onto Auckland’s growing network。starting Te Huia – the Waikato to Auckland commuter service。kicking off work towards a Palmerston North Regional Economic Growth Hub。 double tracking the rail line between Trentham and Upper Hutt。saving the Wairarapa line from deteriorating with critical maintenance work。bringing in new wagons and trains to replace aging assets。Investing in essential maintenance work across the rail network, enabling KiwiRail to take on around 150 new track staff, including a pipeline of trainees。Developing domestic workshops in Dunedin and Christchurch to create local jobs, youth training opportunities, and rebuild expertise. There were 54 collisions and 405 near misses in FY2018, down to 31 collisions and 227 near misses in FY2021.The year to June 30, 2021 has seen three deaths at level crossings. The number of collisions with vehicles at road level crossings has more than halved (from 29 in FY18 to 12 in FY21).
