        "summary": "PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) emphasises that collaboration among all stakeholders is essential to improving safety at railway crossings, which are a significant risk point for accidents in Indonesia. The company highlights the severe consequences of such incidents, including loss of life, material damage, and disruptions to train operations. Meanwhile, the East Java provincial government has integrated safety enhancements into its medium-term development plan, allocating funds for 22 crossings under its jurisdiction, with most already guarded by KAI and the remainder equipped with gates and personnel.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI states\nthat collaboration among all parties is the key to enhancing safety at\nrailway crossings. \u201cIn my view, collaboration, because from\ncollaboration we will find all the solutions. So what is being\nproblematic today regarding safety at crossings is precisely the\nkeyword: collaboration,\u201d said Director of Safety and Security at PT KAI,\nDadan Rudiansyah, during the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) \u201cRailway\nCrossing Governance: Challenges, Solutions, and Collective Commitment\u201d\nat the ANTARA Heritage Center, Jakarta, on Wednesday. According to\nDadan, safety is actually the responsibility of all parties. \u201cActually,\nsafety is what we all must be responsible for. So this word\ncollaboration is very important to us. All stakeholders must collaborate\nto create safety,\u201d he said. In addition to causing fatalities, accidents\nat railway crossings also result in material losses in the form of\ndamage to facilities, both from KAI\u2019s side and the public. State-owned\nrailway support facilities such as tracks and signalling also suffer\ndamage if tempering incidents occur, Dadan stated. Furthermore, he\ncontinued, accidents at railway crossings can lead to disruptions in\ntrain travel, causing delays, passenger build-ups, and diversions to\nother modes of transport. For information, level railway crossings are\none of the high-risk points for transportation safety in Indonesia. The\nexistence of crossings that are opened without permission and without\nsafety standards becomes a significant factor in the high potential for\naccidents, fatalities, and disruptions to train operations and road\ntraffic. On the same occasion, Head of the Railway Section at the East\nJava Provincial Transportation Office, Rendra Wahyudi, said that the\nprovincial government has already supported improvements in safety at\nlevel crossings, which are included in the East Java Provincial\nMedium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD), with funding also prepared by the\nEast Java Province. \u201cSo with this budget, we are collaborating with\nregencies\/cities,\u201d said Rendra. Actually, for East Java Province,\nbecause its authority relates to road status, namely provincial roads,\nthe East Java Provincial Government has 22 level crossing points, he\nsaid. \u201cOf the 22 level crossing points, 20 of them are already guarded\nby PT KAI, and the remaining two level crossing points we have built\nposts and gates for, as well as prepared human resources for those two\npoints,\u201d said Rendra.<\/p>",
