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 a traffic safety class for 60 seventh and eighth graders of Fuchu Municipal Fuchu Meikyo Gakuen in Hiroshima Prefecture on July 5th.
In preparation for summer vacation, we provided students with hands-on experience to prevent accidents and increase safety awareness by helping them better understand the essential traffic rules and etiquette for riding bicycles. During the seminar, students learned how to anticipate potential traffic hazards using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator. This experience not only strengthened their safety awareness but also reminded the importance of pausing to ensure their safety before crossing intersections.
We are committed to continuing our efforts to prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children by engaging in traffic safety education and raising awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.
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.
