real trouble as agencies brace for some steep cuts. some are asking state lawmakers for several billion dollars to keep the buses and trains on track. kristen: today there was another push for funding. abc news reporter ryan curry has the details. ryan: agencies are asking the state for a large bailout or that they will have to dramatically reduce their services in just a few years. >> before the pandemic, fares provided more than 70% of the funding, more than any transit agency in the world. >> bart averages aro riders per week day compared to more than 400,000 before the pandemic. run out. agencies are asking the state to allocate $5 billion from sources including the diesel fuel tax

and the general fund to keep transit agencies up and running. >> ridership has not recovered as quickly as we would need to make up for the loss of those federal funds. that's why the state needs to step in. >> the formal request was made this week. joined by agency leaders wednesday urging his colleagues to allocate the funds. >> this is a problem that is not out of our grasp. >> the plan would be paid out through $1 billion a year through five years. some lawmakers are hesitant toward this kind of money because i don't think the agencies would manage it very well. >> there has been conflict of interest. you combine that with the safety problems on bart, that they have done very little about. >> estate sender agrees transit agencies need funding but he wants to make sure each agency has proper oversight to make sure the money is being spent correctly. >> i'm conditioning my support

on the requirement that it have the accountability and oversight that i think the taxpayers and the public deserve. >> those that when sais event say they will reach a point of no return and service disruption if nothing it -- gets done. larry: bart dramatic losses since the start of the pandemic. prior to 200 on weekends, 1,0 weekdays. about 60% of normal now. tomorrow bart's board of directors will review plan they say will have more people take bart during off-peak hours. that proposed plan would reduce lines during the day but increase service at night as well as the weekends. it could mean that wait times for a saturday train would be no

more than 30 minutes. kristen: a potential strike in oakland. teachers voted to strike between now and the end of the school year, which is just weeks away. parents are concerned about the impact on students. tonight teachers and their supporters plan to rally ahead of the scheduled school board meeting. >> you want to you to strike after school, on saturday and sunday, i need you to strike at 7:00 in the morning, but at 8:30, i need you to be in those classrooms. >> this parent says many students are still struggling, impacted by the pandemic. >> a lot of these schools, especially in oakland, most of these are low performing schools. and they have been for decades. and as parents, we want and we need to have better for not just our kids, but for all kids.

>> oakland teachers have been working without a contract since october. the teachers union has 21 proposals on the table, issues ranging from class size to teacher salary. the union wants a 21% -- 23% raise. >> we believe a strike would be inappropriate and unnecessary. they are making a time when strike is appropriate, and that time is not now. >> a statement released on wednesdays says the oakland school district is trying -- punted by a history of deficit spending and state receivership. it is highly dependent on other items proposed which will require funding. >> we want to do all that it takes to avert a strike but we know it is important to have that as a potential tool should we need to use it. >> one teacher

to the district's demand that teachers work two hours more per week, the pay rates being offered is only to certify teachers not all staff such as school nurses or psychologists. the union says that means 64% of their membership would not be eligible for a salary increase. >> for us, that is not the right approach. all of our educators need an increase in compensation. larry: in sacramento, a newly introduced bill looks to address staffing shortages and educators throughout the state. the bill aims to raise salaries for educators and essential public school employees by 50% of the year 2030. educators in the workforce say they are struggling to get by. >> we work many hours outside the classroom that are essentially unpaid and often need to work additional jobs to make in's meet privette across the state, many educators are not able to find affordable housing near where they teach or keep up with basic living expenses, say for long-term girl

-- goals and provide for their children. larry: the bill is an initiative to close the current wage gap as well as retain and recruit educators. school districts would still decide what they play. kristen: a court hearing for the man charged with brutally attacking the former fire commissioner was delayed because the victim did not show up to testify. the hearing is now scheduled for tomorrow. today he claimed he was acting in self-defense. the office released video from november 2021. the public defender claims the person seen spraying a homeless man with bear spray or pepper spray appears to be him. the public defender says she wants charges against her client dropped, alleging the victim has a violent streak and is linked to attacks on homeless people. >> the district attorney and the police have now reason to believe that he was

eight separate acts of violence. kristen: we asked da brooke jenkins about those eight incidents and she says more investigation needs to be done. her attorneys have said their client is not the person responsible for those attacks. oakland police are investigating a deadly attack in chinatown pavement a man was found unresponsive around 7:30 this morning on 10th street near harrison. police say he was an un-housed and, known to the neighborhood, and sleeps in the front door of a vacant business. so far, no known motive for the deadly beating. larry: in the south bay a program is creating a pathway to get people out of homelessness and into a self-sufficient life. dustin dorsey shows us how this program is changing lives. >> residents making our

community over beautiful place, while i homelessness solution in san jose aims to make the city a better place. the accommodation makes up the san jose ridge program. >> our number one priority has to be ending the era of encampments. we've got to get people house, we've got to get people opportunity and take care of our whole city. what is beautiful about this program is it is a really holistic approach. >>ive pr unhoused sints with services, wages, and a path to self-sufficiency. participants are employed to work for 20 hours a week to assist in community cleaning efforts. within 350,000 pounds of trash have been cleaned up in the past year. >> is not just a job, it's a way of life. everybody likes to enjoy the guadalupe area and without the trash, it is a lot better. >> it's not just about cleaning up the city. the program provides housing

arenas, it is fun, it is exciting. it is the of stuff you dream about when you are a kid. 18,000 fans screaming as loud as they can. those are the shot you want to make. if anything i just embrace it. it is a really cool opportunity, it is really special to just be part of that. >> you know the physicality of it, the attention to detail, everything. you have that same mindset of playing our game, dictating what we want to do. >> now that we are more whole with gary, we have more options defensively. i think we are much more capable of winning on the road because that's what you have to do, you got to defend and get stops and

rebounds to win on the road. >> you could make an arg that the warriors could have won at least one of those two games. you got to stop turning the ball over. draymond green came off bench in game four, and he tell me if it's not broke, don't fix it. crowd a little bit here in game five also, no doubt. larry: you can't wait the fans to show up with their cowbells chris: chris: right behind you. you gets so loud here. bob kept his cool and just watching the game, but these fans are passionate. they will be ready to bring it tonight, there is no doubt about it.

untrained and unqualified athletic trainers put our -- puts our student athletes at risk. >> but perhaps not for long. an assembly member is pushing for a bill that would require anyone calls themselves an athletic trainer to register with the department of consumer affairs and have nationwide certification. >> they can recognize signs of fatigue, identify risk factors with regard to injury and illness come and intervene in emergency situations. >> the issues being pushed months after buffalo bills safety damar hamlin collapsed on the field during an nfl game. officials say that quick actions of the teams athletic trainer contributed to saving his life. reggie scott also spoke in favor of the bill. >> it creates a legal framework by which we can guarantee that our athletes are receiving the best medical care possible. >> not that many school districts don't already have certified trainers. many of them do.

but he says districts in poor communities are usually at a disadvantage. >> 17 -- san francisco has 79% of their trainers with national certification. oakland has a very different demographic -- 0%. >> if the bill makes it through the state legislature, it will also need to be signed by the governor before it becomes law. larry: turning to the forecast now, the heat is almost on. sandhya: tomorrow you're going to notice it for sure. temperatures soaring up into the 90's inland, as we take a look at a live picture. today we've had upper 80's. here's a live view from the oakland airport camera. blue skies and unlimited visibility. i will show you another live picture in just a moment. just about everyone running between 2-6 ariz warmer, looking
