July 19^th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Traffic Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for 196 first-year students at Fukuoka Municipal Yokote Junior High School (Fukuoka Prefecture) jointly with the Fukuoka Prefecture Fukuoka Minami Police Station on July14th.

As part of the Fukuoka Prefecture Summer Traffic Safety Prefectural Citizens' Campaign, a request was received from the Fukuoka Minami Police Station, which wanted to prevent traffic accidents on bicycles and raise awareness of traffic safety. The students learnt about danger prediction using drive recorder footage in a discussion format. They commented on how the experience helped to raise their awareness of traffic safety such as, "At intersections with poor visibility, I always pause and make sure it is safe before passing". We will continue to work with Municipal police and local authorities to raise awareness of traffic safety in order to reduce even one traffic accident involving 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.
