May 9th, 2024    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 86 students of Unzen Municipal Minamikushi Daini Elementary School in Nagasaki Prefecture on May 9th, jointly with Nagasaki Prefectural Unzen Police Station.
Upon receiving a request from the police station, we conducted an experiential learning program to prevent traffic accidents and raise safety awareness. During the seminar, students had hands-on experience learning about necessary traffic rules and manners. They also learned the characteristics and potential dangers of trucks, safe behavior at intersections, and pedestrian crossings. The experience strengthened their safety awareness, and the students mentioned that they found it hard to see from the driver's seat and promised to be cautious and avoid playing around or getting too close to trucks.
We are committed to continuing our efforts to prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children by engaging in traffic safety education and raising awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.

The Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013, to promote traffic safety and prevent accidents. The foundation conducts various traffic safety lectures in schools throughout Japan and engages in educational activities to promote road safety. Additionally, the foundation supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing opportunities for students studying Japanese overseas to present the results of their studies. They also organize Japanese composition speech contests to raise traffic safety awareness and encourage cultural exchange with Japan.
