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 960 students of Hiroshima Prefectural Fukuyama Seishikan High School in Hiroshima Prefecture on May 1st, jointly with Hiroshima Prefectural Fukuyama Higashi Police Station.
Since May is Bicycle Etiquette Awareness Month, we offered experiential learning to foster a deeper understanding of necessary traffic rules and manners when riding bicycles. During the seminar, the students learned about predicting potential traffic dangers through hands-on experience using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator. The experience strengthened their safety awareness, and they expressed their desire to set an example for the community by following bicycle traffic rules and manners.
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.
