April 26^th, 2022    Fukuyama Transporting Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class for all 700 students of Oki Gakuen High School (Fukuoka Prefecture) on April 22nd in cooperation with the Hakata Police Station of Fukuoka Prefecture.

In response to a request from the Hakata Police Station, which aims to raise awareness of traffic safety by helping students understand the rules and riding methods necessary for safe bicycle riding, as well as the characteristics and dangers of cars, the foundation provided a lecture on the inner wheel difference, blind spots using actual trucks, and traffic accident prevention at intersections and pedestrian crossings. Students commented that they wanted to pay attention to the inner wheel difference and blind spots because there is a lot of truck traffic since there are main roads and large factories near the school. 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.
