Dayton city commissioner named to national transportation, infrastructure group

Shaw will oversee the NLC’s federal advocacy and policy priorities through “strategic direction and guidance,” according to a city of Dayton press release.

“Investments in our roads and public transportation infrastructure are critical for Dayton’s continued economic growth,” Shaw said. “As a committee member, I’m looking forward to advocating for cities to be able to put funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to use quickly to address communities’ most pressing needs.”

The NLC’s work involves policy development of infrastructure and transportation technology.

Williams said the committee gathers insights from communities that NLC members serve and said he looked “forward to working with him to fulfill the promise of America’s cities, towns and villages.”
