October 20^th, 2023    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for 156 first graders of Fukuyama Municipal Toho Junior High School (Hiroshima Prefecture) on October 18.

In response to the request from the school, we conducted a seminar to foster a deeper understanding of necessary traffic rules and manners since many students commute by bicycle. The students had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and dangers of trucks and safe behavior at intersections and pedestrian crossings. They commented on how this course helped them raise safety awareness, saying, "By properly following bicycle traffic rules and manners, I would like to set a good example for the community.” 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.
