Contribution to the Local Community
Expansion of Times CAR for the Revitalization of Local Communities
Revitalization of Local Communities through Collaboration with Local Governments and Public Transportation Agencies
In collaboration with local governments, we are actively taking action to revitalize local communities by offering a service that benefits users in combination with the use of rail transport, car sharing services, and tourist attractions. We also offer car sharing services as transport infrastructure in sparsely populated areas where the population is decreasing due to outmigration, the aging population, and the decline in birth rate. In doing so, we are taking actions that help revitalize these areas by offering a means of transport and attracting tourists.
Examples of our initiatives
Holding judo classes for children
PARK24’s Judo Club holds free judo classes for elementary school children every week for the purpose of youth development and to broaden the base of those practicing judo. Classes were cancelled between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but started back in April 2023. For more details, please see Information about the PARK24 Judo Club.
Conducting educational activities to promote zero on-street parking ("Parking Day")
In 1998, the PARK24 GROUP registered August 9th as "Parking Day" as a commemorative day in the hope that "even just one day out of the year, we would like people to think about the various social problems caused by on-street parking. Every year around August 9th, the PARK24 GROUP conducts educational activities to promote the elimination of on-street parking.
Donation activities
Support for Areas Affected by Natural Disasters
