Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held the traffic safety class for 306 students of Fukuyama Municipal Kamo Junior High School (Hiroshima Prefecture) on July 19, jointly with Hiroshima Prefectural Fukuyama Kita Police Station.
Ahead of the summer breaks, we offered experiential learning upon the school's request to foster a deeper understanding of necessary traffic rules and manners when riding bicycles to prevent traffic accidents by raising traffic safety awareness. The students had hands-on experience learning danger prediction using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator. They commented on how this seminar helped them to raise awareness of traffic safety, saying, "By following bicycle traffic rules and manners, I would like to set a good example for the community.” To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children, we will continue to promote traffic safety 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.
