to serve, as a centralized purchasing agent for the Service Boards so requesting.
(b) The Authority may at the request of two or more Service Boards perform
other centralized services such as ridership information and transfers between

(c) A Service Board or the Authority may for the benefit of a Service
Board, to meet its purposes, construct or acquire any public

or for use by any
transportation agency and may acquire any such facilities from any
transportation agency, including also without limitation any reserve funds,
employees' pension or retirement funds, special funds, franchises,

In connection with any such acquisition from a transportation agency the
Authority may assume obligations of the transportation agency with regard
to such facilities or property or public transportation operations of such

In connection with any construction or acquisition, the Authority shall
make relocation payments as may be required by federal law or by the

(d) The Authority shall, after consulting with the Service Boards, develop regionally coordinated and consolidated sales, marketing, advertising, and public information programs that promote the use and coordination of, and transfers among, public transportation services in the metropolitan region. The Authority shall develop and adopt, with the affirmative vote of at least 12 of its then Directors, rules and regulations for the Authority and the Service Boards regarding such programs to ensure that the Service Boards' independent programs conform with the Authority's regional programs.
