President & CEO of Toyota Turkiye Mr.Orhan Özer made a speech in the ceremony and said as follows;
"We believe that children must have training on traffic safety in their early time, which is one of the biggest problems in Turkey. With this scope, we have been realising 'Traffic Safety Picture Competition' in order to raise children's awareness of traffic safety. Also, we have been organising 'Traffic safety school' at our plant, inviting elementary school 3rd grade students in the last 4 years. We have welcomed more than 5 thousand children to 'Traffic Safety School' up to today. Increase of safety belt usage ratio and the environment in which both drivers and pedestrians are more aware of traffic safety would make everyone comfortable and these will lead us to safer lives. I know that local authirities are very careful about this matter and show extra attention. I appreciate very much them about their interests."
