In this episode of Parking Live, co-hosts Jade Neville and Matt Darst sit down with Julie Dixon, a longtime leader in curbside strategy, enforcement innovation, and public engagement.

With decades of experience in public-private partnerships, municipal program development, and community outreach, Julie brings a holistic view of what truly drives better parking systems. From data-informed decision-making to the human side of enforcement, she unpacks the realities of curbside management—and why it’s never just about tickets.

Along the way, Julie opens up about:

Lessons from decades in both consulting and municipal leadership
The emotional toll of enforcement and the importance of staff wellness
How cities can better engage the public to build trust
Her vision for the future of smart, empathetic curb strategy

It’s a thoughtful, candid conversation with one of the most respected voices in the field.
