UC Riverside is in Riverside. College Navigator lists a Fall 2024 student population of 26,384. No out-of-state share is stated. Caltrans says chains are sometimes required on I-15 over Cajon Pass, between Victorville and San Bernardino. Heavy vehicles over 6,500 pounds must mount chains when that sign is posted. A campus delivery in town is not the pass. A truck continuing toward Nevada can be.
This site's route list includes Riverside pairs with Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, Seattle, Houston, and Las Vegas. Those rows are not Census city counts. Census ACS 2024 outbound estimates from California 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). California to Texas is the largest. IAA also lists Fontana. Do not swap the two yards. Registration stays on the California page.
UC Riverside and the IAA office can both be in Riverside and still be the wrong stop for each other. A student car uses the campus or a meeting point. A purchased car uses the yard during weekday office hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific. Cajon Pass is only on the trip that continues north on I-15. Say which of the three the driver is doing.
