Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held the traffic safety class for 160 third to sixth graders of Itoshima Municipal Hikitsu Elementary School in Fukuoka Prefecture on November 14th.
Upon receiving a request from the school, we organized hands-on experience learning about necessary traffic rules and manners to prevent accidents. The students had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and potential hazards of trucks, safe conduct at intersections, and pedestrian crossings. The experience strengthened their safety awareness and reminded the importance of pausing to ensure their safety before crossing intersections.
Our unwavering commitment involves a sustained effort to reduce and prevent future traffic accidents involving children by actively conducting traffic safety education and collaborating with local police stations and authorities to raise awareness.
The Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013, to promote traffic safety and prevent accidents. The foundation conducts various traffic safety lectures in schools throughout Japan and engages in educational activities to promote road safety. Additionally, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students studying Japanese overseas to present the results of their studies. They also organize Japanese composition speech contests to raise traffic safety awareness and encourage cultural exchange with Japan.
