The 2025 campaign message for Rail Safety Week was launched today “Stay Off, Stay Safe — Tracks are for Trains.” We heard from school students in Mt Maunganui, the Mayor of Matamata-Piako and many others who have experienced the devastation when people step inside the rail corridor. Our message spoke about the critical importance of safety for rail workers too—moving long lengths of steel, thousand tonne trains, and often being the first responder when commuters have health incidents. Training, backing your teammates, and experience counts for everything—and yes, the right gear at the right time. So when you are near the network: stay off, stay safe. @TrackSAFENZ

Well done ad from @TrackSAFENZ! It demonstrates the target behavior, provides a catchy way to remember what to do, and is entertaining at the same time. #socmar #SocialMarketing youtube.com/watch?v=q-S7J4HY…

This Rail Safety Week, @TrackSAFENZ and KiwiRail are helping you meet the legend. And his horse. Wherever rail crossing advice is needed, Stan will be there to share the secrets of his 'Steely Stare’™. Make sure you hone your own Steely Stare whenever you're around the tracks.

You know your road rules, and now’s your chance to prove it. The train's already passed through the intersection and the boom gates have lifted—but the lights are still flashing. So is the driver of the green car allowed to go now? #RailSafetyWeek

Today is International Level Crossing Awareness Day. With 23,000 level crossings in Australia, this year’s theme is a reminder to us all to put our phones down and look up when we’re on or around rail. #stayrailsafe #railsafe #ilcaw

Never Walk on railroad tracks! Life could change in an instant. It can take a mile or more to stop a train. A locomotive engineer who suddenly sees someone on the tracks will likely be unable to stop in time.#Illegal #Dangerous #NotWorthTheRisk #StayOffTheTracks #FindASaferPlace

Just because you never see a train on a set of tracks, doesn't mean you won't. Railroads reactivate routes all the time and locomotives can come from either direction. The train you don't expect is always the deadliest.
