President of the University of Dammam and Chairman of the Higher Organizing
Committee of the Second Traffic Safety Forum, explained the importance of
addressing the issue of traffic accidents, praising the government’s direct and
effective efforts in reducing and mitigating traffic accidents. He noted that
traffic safety, as a social and collective responsibility and a national issue,
requires the participation of all individuals and segments of society, as well
as the cooperation of various government entities, companies, and associations.
Each entity, through its roles and responsibilities, should contribute to
strengthening the concept and spreading the culture of traffic safety among its
employees and members of the local community through activities and programs
based on participation, transparency, evaluation, and accountability.
Accordingly, the forum received the approval of the Royal Court, along with the
generous support of His Royal Highness the Minister of Interior, and special
attention from the Governor of the Eastern Province and the Minister of Higher
Education to deliver the association’s message..
