October 11th, 2023 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) participated in the traffic safety educational event for children called "KIDS' SAFETY CHALLENGE" hosted by the Chugoku Shimbun Co., Ltd. on October 8.
As a part of the Hiroshima Traffic Accident Prevention Campaign, we conducted a hands-on learning experience of truck blind spots for approximately 100 participants at the Hiroshima Truck Festival in response to the request from the Chugoku Shimbun. They commented how the experience helped to enhance their safety awareness, saying, "There are many places where I found it hard to see from the truck driver's seat, so I will make sure to be cautious when crossing intersections." To prevent and decrease the number of future traffic accidents, we will continue to engage in traffic safety education and raise 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.
