May 29th, 2023 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 142 students of Unzen Municipal Kojiro Elementary School (Nagasaki Prefecture) on May 26 jointly with Nagasaki Prefectural Unzen Police Station.

In response to the police station, which would like to prevent traffic accidents by raising traffic safety awareness, students had hands-on experience learning the characteristics and dangers of trucks and safe behavior at intersections and pedestrian crossings. They commented on how this seminar helped them to raise awareness of traffic safety, saying, "Vehicles cannot stop suddenly, and I will never run out into the road." 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 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.
