Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi is scheduled to announce a new outreach effort today to help low-income drivers with good records get affordable auto insurance.
Garamendi will hold a news conference at the corner of 7th and Mission streets in San Francisco next to the U.S. District Court of Appeals Building, the city intersection with the most injury collisions, officials said.
The Low Cost Auto Insurance Program was created in 1999 with the establishment of pilot programs in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Garamendi has sponsored legislation in Sacramento to expand the current pilot program to six additional counties, including Alameda.
While California law mandates all drivers be insured, many low-income motorists do not have insurance. There are approximately 75,000 uninsured motorists in the city, according to the commissioner's office figures.
