September 22^th, 2023    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 48 children at Mihara Municipal Daiwa Accredited Childcare Center (Hiroshima Prefecture) on September 21, jointly with Hiroshima Prefecture Mihara Police Station.

As a part of the autumn nationwide traffic safety campaign, we conducted experiential learning in response to a request from Mihara Police Station to prevent traffic accidents by raising traffic safety awareness. Children had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and dangers of trucks, safe behavior at intersections, and pedestrian crossings. They commented on how the experience helped to increase their traffic safety awareness, saying, "There were many places where I could not see from the driver's seat, so I will not play around or get close to them.” To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children, we will continue to engage in traffic safety education and raise awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.

Komaru Koutsu Foundation was established on September 9, 2013, to promote traffic safety awareness, hosting various traffic safety lectures in 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.
