january 25^th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru), jointly with the Saga Prefectural Police Headquarters, held a traffic safety class on trucks for 102 students of third year at Kanzaki Elementary School in Kanzaki City, Saga Prefecture, on January 21st.

In response to a request from the Saga Prefectural Police Headquarters, which wants to prevent traffic accidents among elementary school children by helping them understand the importance of traffic rules and the fear of cars, the class used an actual truck to experience the characteristics and dangers. Moreover, since the elementary school is located in an urban area and there is a lot of traffic on the main road, the children learned about preventing traffic accidents, especially at intersections and crosswalks. The children commented, "It was scary to see how the doll waiting at the traffic light got caught in vehicle tires, so I will definitely step back and wait at the intersection.

We will continue our efforts to raise awareness of traffic safety so that even one traffic accident involving children will be reduced.

The Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013 in order to promote and raise traffic safety awareness, and has conducted traffic safety lectures at elementary schools nationwide and educational activities to prevent traffic accidents. We also provide opportunities for students studying Japanese overseas to present the results of their studies, and hold Japanese Composition speech contests to raise awareness of traffic safety and promote cultural exchange with Japan.

We support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
