Baltimore, MD (WJZ) Here in Baltimore, city residents pay pretty much double what county residents pay when it comes down to car insurance.The statistics support that accidents do occur more often in the city, which means more insurance claims.But now a new program is trying to base insurance premiums on the mileage that you drive, instead of the area you reside in.The Baltimore City Council met today to discuss the pay-as-you-drive insurance initiative.Senator Lisa Gladden was one of the main participants. She is the sponsor of the state legislation for pay-as-you- drive program. Alfred Redmer, Insurance Commissioner for the State of Maryland, was also in attendance, supporting the measure.Baltimore City is trying to encourage the state to pay for a study aimed at convincing car insurance companies to adopt the program.The City Council Committee is expected to vote early next month.
