July 7^th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chairman: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class on July 5th at Kurishima Elementary School in Kitanagoya City (Aichi Prefecture) for 112 students in the first and second grades.

The children, who will have more opportunities to ride bicycles in the future, were given a hands-on learning experience on predicting danger using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator, in order to help them understand the traffic rules and manners necessary for safe bicycle riding. The children commented on how it helped to raise their awareness of traffic safety, such as " I will follow the traffic rules properly when riding my bicycle". We will continue to work with the police and local authorities in our region to raise traffic safety awareness in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents involving children, even by one.

Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013 with the aim of spreading and raising awareness of traffic safety concepts, organizing traffic safety classes mainly in primary schools across Japan and conducting 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.
