We look forward to building upon this partnership and continuing to support the public sector clients who view ARI as a trusted advisor and extension of their organization.”

ARI currently provides fleet leasing and management services to more than 160 public organizations, consisting of approximately 80,000 vehicles. Through its partnership with Sourcewell, formerly National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), ARI offers member agencies innovative government-centric solutions that help fleets in this sector better control operating expenses and improve efficiency.

“I’m really excited about this category and the value it offers our members,” said Sourcewell Contract Administrator Andy Campbell. “ARI’s comprehensive leasing and fleet management services are poised to deliver solutions that will transform our members’ fleet operations. Regardless of the vehicle type or fleet size, there’s a program available to meet the needs of all members.”

Sourcewell contracts are awarded on behalf of its current and potential government and education member agencies following a competitive, nationwide solicitation.
