"We're trying to find a way to decrease overall crashes," Sgt. Michael Simpson said. "[Drivers] are in a rush to get to work or school, and they're doing things they shouldn't be doing."
Police say their heightened presence on the interstates is meant to catch aggressive and distracted drivers.
They say drivers have been caught doing everything from eating, to reading, to putting on makeup behind the wheel - along with the dangerous habit of texting.
Troopers say they increased patrols around the interstates last year and were met with promising results.
They say no deadly crashes occurred on I-64 in 2012, and the overall number of accidents decreased.
Now, they're amplifying their efforts to try and continue that trend and see even more improvement.
