Driving safely on a university campus is critical. Cell phone use while driving is considered unsafe and can increase the risk of traffic crashes. The purpose of this study is to measure the rate of cell phone use while driving on campus in a major university in the United States. The overall rate of cell phone use was estimated at 2.5%. This rate is not considered high compared to previously measured rates in the United States. The cell phone use rate among faculty and staff drivers (3.5%) was higher in comparison with the student drivers (2.1%). The results indicate that there is a need for more interventions to reduce this dangerous behavior on campus, and several solutions were proposed.
