May 31^th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru), in cooperation with the Fukuoka Prefecture Yame Police Station, held a traffic safety class for 81 students at Yame Municipal Jouyouhokuzeigakuen /Educational continuity from primary through early secondary levels (Fukuoka Prefecture) on May 30th.

Since many of the students commute to school by bicycle, the traffic safety class was designed to help them understand the traffic rules and manners necessary to ride a bicycle safely, and to learn how to predict danger using drive recorder videos and a bicycle simulator. The students commented on how the event helped raise their awareness of traffic safety, such as, "When I ride a bicycle, I will stop at intersections and check carefully before passing.

We will continue our efforts to educate children about traffic safety in cooperation with the Municipal police and local governments, so that even one traffic accident involving children will decrease.

Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded 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. Overseas, it holds Japanese composition speech contests to provide opportunities for students to present the results of their Japanese language studies and to promote cultural exchange with Japan and also raise awareness of traffic safety that is relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we support.
