November 30^th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for 110 students of first graders at Okayama Prefectural Oku High School (Okayama Prefecture) on November 29th.
In response to a request from the school to prevent traffic accidents by raising awareness of traffic safety, the students learned about danger prediction using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator. They commented on how the experience helped to raise their awareness of traffic safety and said, "At intersections with bad visibility, I will make sure to pause before crossing.” To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children, we will continue to promote traffic safety awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.
Komaru Koutsu Foundation was established on September 9th, 2013, to promote traffic safety awareness, hosting various traffic safety lectures in elementary schools across Japan and carrying out educational activities to prevent traffic accidents. Furthermore, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students overseas studying Japanese to present the results of their studies and organizing Japanese composition speech contests to raise traffic safety awareness and promote cultural exchange with Japan.
