Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held the traffic safety class for 20 students at Mihara Municipal Kui Accredited Childcare Center (Hiroshima Prefecture) on July 11.
As part of the Hiroshima Prefecture Summer Traffic Safety Campaign, we offered experiential learning in response to Mihara Police Station’s request 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 awareness of traffic safety, 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 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.
