This study combines econometric and geospatial methods to analyze the impact of cellular coverage on distracted driving incidents, crashes, and injuries in Oregon from 2017 to 2020, focusing on cell phone-related crashes. Despite reduced travel in 2020, these crashes remained high. Geospatial tools identified urban hotspots like Portland and Salem. We used the mixed logit model to evaluate factors like driver demographics, vehicle characteristics, and environmental conditions, shedding light on the economic aspects of injury severity. Results highlight the crucial role of seatbelt use in reducing injury severity. The study underlines the need for comprehensive strategies to combat distracted driving in Oregon for better road safety and to lower economic costs associated with such incidents.
