Marylanders are driving less these days, according to a report by the Maryland PIRG Foundation, a public interest research group.
The amount of miles driven per person in the state fell more than 4 percent between 2005 and 2011.
Forty-five other states also saw a reduction in driving miles, according to the report. Nationally, this is the eighth consecutive year that Americans have driven less.

Lets give create where create is due - Obama's high gas prices and O'Malley's traffic jams.
no reason to leave the house when you are jobless
Idiot Dens...it's about gas prices and jobs FOOLS.
The Republicans said it was all about jobs three years ago when they took over the house. How is that working out?
Can't afford to go anywhere.
well, you don't have to drive very far before you have to pay a toll. And not a very small one at that. it's bad enough pols have raided our transportation fund for their own selfish wants, they now want to add to it by the added & increased tolls.
Libs never can be satisfied.
Between gas prices, tolls, Nazi "checkpoints", multiple speed traps by every jurisdiction, and the ever-present military-style police campaigns against citizens, traveling is not the enjoyable family affair it used to be.....
