On the heels of the recently signed legislation by Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger that promises to reduce California's greenhouse
emissions by 25 percent by the year 2020, Travelers announced today
a solution to help support that goal. California hybrid owners can
now take advantage of a 10 percent discount(a) on auto insurance
offered by Travelers. �The new legislation aimed at reducing
greenhouse emissions shows California is taking noticeable measures
to improve the environment,� said Peter Betts, Travelers regional
vice president for California. �We hope our discount offer for
hybrid owners will help support an eco-friendly action plan for
California and its residents.� Commonly known as an eco-conscious
state, Californians registered 52,619 new hybrid vehicles in 2005.
At a distant second, Florida registered 10,470 hybrids, followed by
Texas, New York and Virginia. Los Angeles tops the list of
hybrid-driving cities with 22,922 new hybrid cars registered,
followed by San Francisco with 15,828. New York, Washington D.C.
and Boston complete the top five.1 �California has long been a
trendsetting state whose example the rest of the nation often
follows, and Californians have embraced the hybrid car in a big
way,� said Greg Toczydlowski, senior vice president of product
management for Travelers. �We salute this spirit of forward-looking
innovation and will continue to develop products and services that
evolve to fit the changing needs of our California customers.� At
