In addition to the powers conferred upon any authority by other provisions of this act, every authority is empowered to borrow money or accept contributions, grants or other financial assistance from the Federal Government, and, with the consent of the county or municipality to acquire, take over or lease, or manage, any parking project or undertaking constructed or owned by such county or municipality or any meters, equipment or other facilities of such county or municipality devoted to the parking or storage of vehicles of any kind or necessary or useful and convenient in connection therewith or with the promotion of the free movement of traffic, and to these ends, to comply with such conditions and enter into such mortgages, trust indentures, leases, or agreements, as may be necessary, convenient or desirable. It is the purpose and intent of this act to authorize every authority to do any and all things necessary or desirable to secure the financial aid or co-operation of the Federal Government, the State Government, or any county or municipality in the undertaking, construction, maintenance, or operation of any parking project by such authority. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the rents, rates and fees to be charged in the operation by a parking authority of any off-street parking project owned or leased by it shall be regulated and determined solely by the authority, and the local laws, ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations of a municipality or county regulating the parking of vehicles shall apply to said project but only to such extent as may from time to time be approved by resolution of the authority.
