Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for 100 3rd graders of Sagamihara Municipal Tana Elementary School on March 23.
Since students will have more opportunities to ride bicycles, we conducted hands-on experience learning danger prediction using drive recorder footage and a bicycle simulator to foster a deeper understanding of necessary traffic rules and manners when riding bicycles. They commented on how this seminar helped them to raise awareness of traffic safety, saying, "There are many dangerous spots at intersections, and we will make sure to follow traffic rules.” 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 elementary 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.
