have been cleared around 5:00. and also your bay bridge toll plaza looking clear right now carquinez bridge to the maze westbound will take you only 20 minutes. here's something that might improve your commute. later today, some new smart signs are going live along i- 80. they should make the drive a little easier in case there's an accident. maria medina is live in albany on 880. how does this work? >> reporter: so there are 100 signs going active on i-80 between the carquinez bridge and bay bridge so why is this such a big deal? well, caltrans says nearly dozen accidents happen every week that blocked at least one lane on that stretch of i-80 so what these signs are going to do, they're going to warn drivers about those accidents. they are going to guide them out of the blocked lanes and they are going to clear a path for emergency crews. socal trans, they are so excited about this. they have been testing these

signs for the last several weeks and they are going active to warn the drivers about incidents and accidents that are blocking lanes again on i- 80 between the carquinez bridge and the bay bridge. maria medina, kpix 5. right now, search-and- rescue crews are digging through rubble in italy. they are looking for any survivors from a massive earthquake. crews worked through the night with search dogs and heavy construction equipment. authorities say more than 250 people are dead and several others are hurt. the earthquake hit several cities yesterday including amatrice, which is a big tourist spot. in san jose, the city council has just days to decide if a shortage of police officers is a public safety emergency. the council committee just voted unanimously to let people weigh in on the staffing crisis. an emergency declaration would let the police chief overrule a police union contract and reassign 47 police detectives

to work a daily beat. chief eddie garcia says next month even with overtime, the city cannot meet a 500-officer minimum for its patrol unit. san francisco teachers could feel much relief on the housing front if governor brown signs his name on a new bill. kpix 5's lisa chan is live on a measure that would let san francisco unified build housing to keep educators in the district. >> reporter: 50% of teachers in san francisco leave within five years. the lack of affordable housing is one of the main reasons why. senate bill 1413 was sponsored by mark leno. this allows school districts statewide to lease property owned by the district for the development of employee housing. san francisco mayor ed lee sponsored the legislation. he wants to develop educator housing for 100 households and would like to provide rental assistance for 100 teachers. 200 down payment assistance loans and housing counseling service as well as. oakland unified school district

is looking to do the same thing. >> i spent a lot of time just sitting at home because i didn't have the money to go out. >> i'm planning to get married in the next few years and our plans don't include bay area in our future because it's too expensive. >> reporter: since 2009, the number of teaching credentials issued in california has declined by 26%. the bill would hopefully change things by creating affordable housing for school district employees such as teachers, paraprofessionals and administrators. the san francisco unified school district owns a number of properties that are either vacant or being used as administrative buildings that could be converted. live in the newsroom, lisa chan, kpix 5. a meeting is set for today in las vegas to discuss a possible football stadium for the oakland raiders. the southern nevada tourism infrastructure committee will discuss everything from potential sites to public transportation. the raiders are currently on a year-to-year lease basis at the coliseum as efforts to keep the

campaign trail in reno. donald trump is in new hampshire. if you are looking for something to do today there's a free night at the drive-in. >> sounds like fun. i have never been to a drive-in movie. >> no? >> no! >> you have to go. >> i know. the solano drive-in in concord and the capital drive-in in san jose both hosting customer appreciation nights. employees at the theater say business is so good they are just trying to give back. they say the best value you can get to see a movie, tickets less than $8 for an adult for a double feature and for kids just a buck twenty five. the normal movies these days? a matinee was $13! >> exactly. >> it's fun. we take the family. load up the car. 5:08. more than 3 dozen tornadoes are reported across two states in the midwest. the damage and destruction people who live there are waking up to today. >> and police in southern california are looking all over the state for whoever stole a truck filled with energy

fourth. that's gone. so is the shutout. justin turner gave the dodger a 1-0 lead. the only run cueto allowed through six innings. giants yearning for a big hit. brandon crawford, two on, two out, way back -- oh, not quite enough. josh redick has it. threat is over so giants lose 1- 0. that 25 losses since the all star break three back of the dodgers in the west wild card lead down to a half game. colin kaepernick is expected to make his preseason debut friday night against the packers after missing the first two exhibition games with arm fatigue. perhaps the drama is all over. maybe he could just get down to playing football. you may recall the 49ers gave kaepernick permission to work out a trade. that never happened. kaepernick didn't even speak to general manager trent baalke in the off season but baalke recently said that he and kaep had a good conversation. this was kaep's response

statewide to build affordable housing for teachers. oakland is hoping to do it, as well. >> this is something that i would be interested in apply for and would be one of those people saying please, pick me to live here. >> school districts statewide are experiencing a shortage of teachers and hopefully, this bill will help. >> how bad is the teacher shortage right now, lisa? >> reporter: the number of teaching credentials in california has gone down by 26% since 2009. the problem is bad here in the bay area because of high housing prices driving teachers away. lisa chan, kpix 5. the search is on for survivors of an earthquake in italy. crews having searching all night. 250 people have died and others hurt. it leveled several towns including the tourist town amatrice. we talked to a man who lives in the bay area but grew up where the earthquake hit. his mother texted him when it

hit yesterday. >> the fact that it's so close to home, this is a tourist town built a long time ago so they don't have seismic retrofitting. it's just horrible. >> alessandro's restaurant is hosting a charity dinner monday night for the victims. we have information on our website at cbssf.com. in san francisco, a woman goes for a walk and is jumped by a stranger on the attack. a brutal beating caught on camera from a pacific heights condo building. it happened at around quarter to 8:00 inside near lafayette park. the suspect punched the woman repeatedly pinning her to the sidewalk. he didn't take anything. so this is not a mugging. the block where it happened usually is busy with dog walkers and pedestrians. some feel unsafe. >> i grew up around here too and went to high school and elementary school around here. i always felt safe. so it's scary. >> the sfpd says the attack

appears to be random and officers aren't sure if the man was drunk on drugs or mentally ill. in san jose, a gang bust has brought in massive amounts of cash and drugs and even a baby alligator. besides the unusual animal and $200,000 in cash, the crackdown turned up 4,000 ecstasy pills, 60 pounds of marijuana and 23 arrests. one of the suspects arrested is a san jose cop. derrick antonio a nine-year veteran allegedly leaked sensitive police intelligence to violent gang members. >> his acts were deplorable and in no way represent the character of the remaining members of this department. >> it took law enforcement months of listening to wiretaps to make this much progress in operation gang of thrones. the bust has been linked to vietnamese cafes. but the mission isn't completed. federal agents and sjpd say other suspects are still at large. meanwhile, antonio the sjpd

[ foghorn ] >> i'm so easily amused. i just love that. when you come from the mojave desert, you don't hear those kinds of things not even from the horn toads! temperatures in the 50s and low 60s in san jose as you get on out the door this morning. we have a modified air quality report because of a westerly anticipated later today 10 to 20. we'll have some good air quality in the eastern portion of our bay area compared to the moderate air quality across the peninsula and also the santa clara valley. temperatures coming in below average today. no clearing at the beaches. cool in daly city at 59 degrees. 70s around the peninsula. nice refreshing temperatures and the sunshine. 81 cupertino and campbell. 78 san jose, alum rock and alviso. warmer south. to the east temperatures all the way up to 89 degrees for the warmest spot inland. mid-80s around the tri-valley. couple of degrees below average. 60s along the beaches and the

delays. the dublin interchange, you have some backup now in the commute direction. altamont pass to 680 westbound will take you about 15 to 20 minutes. mass transit, if you plan to avoid it all, no delays to worry about. michelle? >> thank you. starting today the drive could get a little easier along i-80. some new high-tech signs are going live to tell drivers when there are accidents. kpix 5's maria medina is live in albany with details. maria. >> reporter: yeah, michelle. these signs will be activated today and we're talking 100 signs off i-80 between the carquinez bridge and the bay bridge. and you may be wondering why is this sum a big deal? caltrans says -- why is this such a big deal? 2 dozen accidents happen there weekly that blocks lanes, at least one lane so what these signs will do is they will warn drivers of those accidents. they will guide them out of the lanes and clear a path for

emergency vehicles. caltrans hopes this will help drivers. >> these include advisories speed signs. these include lane use signs that tell drivers ahead of time which lanes are open, which are closed. this allows us to better manage the incident. >> reporter: so the price tag for this high- tech makeover for 80 between the carquinez bridge and the bay bridge about $80 million. again, they go active today. live in albany, maria medina, kpix 5. >> we'll see if that helps with the commute. sounds good. efforts moving forward today to get a new ballpark for the oakland a's. right here in oakland. a's co-owner john fisher will reportedly visit the port of oakland's howard terminal to see if the waterfront location could be used for a baseball stadium. that location near jack london square has already gotten a thumbs-up from mayor libby schaaf. but it does come with some transportation concerns. the nearest bart station is about a mile away.

the a's are again focusing their sights on oakland after efforts to move to san jose were obstructed by the san francisco giants claiming territorial rights. a free dental clinic for students at emeryville is opening today. it is funded by the alameda county board of supervisors. it's in the community of life center near 47th and san pablo avenue. across the u.s., teens are trading the morning school bell for the big kid life in college. and now the parents are trying to make sure these freshmen have money along the way. that's why cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger offers all kinds of tips on getting set up for spending money. all right, jill, where should parents start? >> reporter: choosing a bank that offers free check and saving accounts in order to avoid fees. even if you choose an online bank, you need an institution that has convenient atms near a college campus. the reason is you want to eliminate those out of network charges. also, when you're doing this, it's helpful to explain to your kids about balancing accounts

and, of course, this is so much easier with online banking. but you should both be checking into the account regularly and maybe your kids knows that he will be more careful about how he spends money. if your college student is working to help pay the bills, so many are, encourage him to save at least 10% of the earnings that can go directly into the bank account. >> my college campus, they are always trying to get new credit card customers. everybody has those little kiosks set up trying to suck students in. so should parents advocate using credit cards or debit cards. >> reporter: you know, it depends. the news is mixed here because debit cards are definitely helpful in the budgeting process. right? but they don't help build a credit history. they can also be a little bit more of a pain in the neck in the event of an identity theft or a data breach. that said, we know credit cards can lead to reckless spending and new rules require parents to cosign on these cards. and when you do that, you're marrying your credit histories

for better or for worse. now, reminder kids that the late payments that they may or may not make can ding their record and may affect their chances of getting a job, renting a first apartment. and here's a nice compromise. you don't want debit, you don't want credit, how about a secured credit card? this is a card that limits the liability but it does establish a credit history. a secured card requires a cash collateral deposit which basically becomes the credit line for that account. so if you put $500 in the account, you can charge up to $500. no more than that. you may be able to add to the deposit to extend your credit. sometimes banks will give you a little bit extra if you are a good payor but overall, most important thing is the very good transition period for your kids to take over financial responsibilities so you want to encourage good habits early. >> sounds like a good compromise. jill schlesinger, thank you. ♪[ music ] 5:41.
