December 16^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 334 students at Oita Municipal Shikido Elementary School (Oita Prefecture) on December 15th with Oita Prefectural Oita Minami Police Station. In response to the request from the police station, which aims to prevent traffic accidents on the way to and from school and to raise traffic safety awareness, the students had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and dangers of trucks about safe behavior at intersections and pedestrian crossings. The children commented on how the experience strengthened their awareness of traffic safety, saying, "Since intersections have many dangerous spots, I will make sure to step back and wait for the light.” To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents among children, we will continue to promote traffic safety awareness in cooperation with police stations and local authorities.
Komaru Koutsu Foundation was established 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. 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.
