April 6 to April 13, 2026, Rigby Police will have extra patrols out for the Distracted Driving Grant issued by Idaho Transportation Department's Office of Highway Safety (OHS) and law enforcement agencies across Idaho partnering with ISP and agencies across the state.

What Is Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, searching for lost/dropped items, horseplay inside the vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes your eyes and attention away from the task of safe driving.

Besides financial penalties, (texting while driving first offense is $131.50) Using a cell phone, while driving creates an enormous potential for deaths and injuries on our roads.

Distracted driving is dangerous, claiming 3,208 lives in 2024.

We are committed to eliminating risky behavior on the roads. Let’s work together to keep our community safe. For more information visit https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/distracted-driving and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCJNK9OetGA
