The New York State Association of Town Superintendents of Highways (NYSAOTSOH) is proud to announce the election of James โJamieโ Dussing, Superintendent of Highways for the Town of Clarence in Erie County, as its new President. His presidential term began Oct. 1, 2025.
A lifelong resident of Clarence, Jamie represents the fourth generation of his family to call the town home. Jamie began his career in public service in 1992, working part-time for the Clarence Parks Department while in college. In 1995, he accepted a โtemporaryโ full-time position with the town that grew into a lifelong career. Rising through the ranks, he was appointed Deputy Superintendent in 2013 and was later elected Superintendent of Highways in 2013, 2017, and 2021. He is currently seeking re-election in 2025.
In addition to his professional work, Jamie is deeply involved in the Clarence community. He is a life member of the Clarence Fire Company and a Trustee at the Clarence Presbyterian Church. He is also involved in various other political and service organizations across Western New York. Within the highway community, Jamie has most recently served as 1st Vice President of NYSAOTSOH and is an active member of the Town Highway Superintendentsโ Association of Erie County.
As Superintendent of Highways, Jamie oversees a growing town of more than 33,000 residents. The Clarence Highway Department maintains 127 center lane miles of town roads and plows and de-ices 55 miles of county roads. The town spans 53 square miles. .
โJamieโs dedication, leadership, and commitment to serving his community exemplify the spirit of our Association,โ said Matt Mustico, Town of Elmira Highway Superintendent, Immediate NYSAOTSOH Past President. โWe are confident he will lead with vision and continue to strengthen the voice of municipal highway departments across New York State.โ
Jamie believes the most rewarding aspect of his work is collaborating with community leaders, neighbors, and fellow superintendents to make Clarenceโand municipalities across the stateโbetter places to live, work, and raise families. As President, he looks forward to advocating for highway superintendents statewide to ensure they have the funding, education, and resources needed to serve their communities effectively.
