To avoid duplication of effort and in the interests of economy, the authority may make use of existing studies, surveys, plans, data and other materials in the possession of any state agency or any municipality or political subdivision of the state. Each such agency, municipality or subdivision is hereby authorized to make the same available to the authority and otherwise to assist it in the performance of its functions. At the request of the authority, each such agency, municipality or subdivision which is engaged in highway or other transportation activities or in land use or development planning, or which is charged with the duty of providing or regulating any transportation facility or any other public facility, is further authorized to provide the authority with information regarding its plans and programs affecting the transportation district so that the authority may have available to it current information with respect thereto. The officers and personnel of such agencies, municipalities or subdivisions, and of any other government or agency whatever, may serve at the request of the authority upon such advisory committees as the authority shall determine to create and such officers and personnel may serve upon such committees without forfeiture of office or employment and with no loss or diminution in the compensation, status, rights and privileges which they otherwise enjoy.2.
The authority shall, at the request of any state agency, municipality or political subdivision of the state, engaged in highway or other transportation activities or in land use or development planning, provide said state agency, municipality or political subdivision with all current and relevant information regarding its plans or programs, so as to enable said agency, municipality or subdivision to properly effectuate said activities or planning.3.
To the extent that the provisions of this title authorize the authority to enter into any agreement or arrangement with, or undertake any other activity requiring the participation of, the New York city transit authority or any of its subsidiary corporations in furtherance of their respective purposes and powers or the Triborough bridge and tunnel authority in furtherance of its purposes and powers, such entities are hereby authorized and empowered to enter into and perform such contract or other arrangement and to undertake such activities.
