College Navigator lists California State University-Long Beach with a Fall 2024 student population of 42,003, and Long Beach City College with 24,985. Both addresses are Long Beach. No out-of-state share is stated. A dorm or campus lot is not the Matson yard. Use the address on the order.
A car that stays on the mainland follows California's migration pattern, not the ship. Census ACS 2024 outbound estimates are Texas 77,161 (margin of error 9,059), Nevada 53,289 (margin of error 6,970), and Arizona 52,383 (margin of error 6,890). This site's city-route list has one Long Beach pair, to Honolulu, with the miles left blank. That blank is the ocean leg. The West Coast ports page groups vehicle docks and does not replace Matson's own hours. Registration stays on the California page.
Cal State Long Beach and Long Beach City College are city addresses for students. Matson's auto yard is a port appointment with a midday closure. A truck that only moves a car between two California cities does not need that yard. A car booked to Hawaii or Guam does. Keep the two jobs on separate orders so the driver is not sent to a classroom lot for a ship cutoff.
