April 19^th, 2022    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 all 27 students of Bizen Municipal Mitsuishi Junior High School (Okayama Prefecture) on April 18th in cooperation with the Bizen Police Station in Okayama Prefecture.

At the request of the Bizen Police Station, which aims to prevent traffic accidents involving children, we used actual trucks to provide hands-on learning about the characteristics and dangers of cars and the prevention of traffic accidents at intersections with bicycles. The students commented that they would like to pass through intersections paying close attention to the inner wheel difference and blind spots of trucks.

We will continue our efforts to raise traffic safety awareness in order to reduce the number of traffic accidents involving children to the minimum possible.

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.
