November 16^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 the traffic safety class for 85 students of Bando Municipal Yumata Elementary School (Ibaraki Prefecture) on November 14.

In response to the request from the school, we conducted a seminar to raise traffic safety awareness and prevent traffic accidents. Students had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and dangers of trucks, safe behavior at intersections, and pedestrian crossings. They commented on how the experience helped to enhance their safety awareness, saying, "Since vehicles cannot stop suddenly, I will never try to run out into the road.” To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children, we will continue to engage in traffic safety education and raise 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.
