What do interior design, car sharing, urban planning, and parking have in common? For Alyssa Alt, they were all stepping stones toward a career shaping how people move through cities.

In this episode, Brooke sits down with Alyssa, Division Manager of the Parking System Enterprise for the City of Colorado Springs, to explore her unconventional journey into mobility. They discuss how a passion for public service led her from nonprofit transportation initiatives to managing one of Colorado's largest municipal parking systems, why operations often gets overlooked despite being the backbone of every successful city, and how mentorship and industry involvement helped accelerate her leadership journey.

They also dive into the evolution of curb management, why parking professionals should think beyond parking, and why sometimes the best career move is simply saying yes and getting involved.

Whether you're new to mobility or decades into your career, this conversation is a reminder that great leaders aren't born with a roadmap. They're built through curiosity, community, and a willingness to keep learning.
