July 15^th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Sigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for all 295 students at Okayama Prefectural wake sizutani High School (Okayama Prefecture) on July 14th. In response to a request from the school, which wanted to prevent traffic accidents on bicycles during the summer holiday period and raise awareness of traffic safety, the students were given hands-on experience in predicting danger using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator. The students commented on how the experience helped to raise their awareness of traffic safety, such as "I will follow the traffic rules and manners for cyclists and set a good example for others in the community".

We will continue to work with the district police station and local authorities to raise awareness of traffic safety in order to reduce even one traffic accident for children.

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.
