boot (disambiguation). A boot is a type of
shoe that covers at least the
foot and the
ankle and sometimes extends up to the

Build-Operate-Transfer
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) is a form of project financing, wherein a private entity receives a franchise from the private or
public sector to finance, design, construct, and operate a facility for a specified period, after which ownership is transferred back to the funding entity. During the time that the project proponent operates the facility, it is allowed to charge facility users appropriate tolls, fees, rentals, and charges stated in their contract to enable the project proponent to recover its investment, and operating and maintenance expenses in the project. Examples of countries using BOT are
Japan,
Taiwan (Republic of China),
Malaysia,
Philippines and
Hong Kong. However, in some countries, such as
Canada and
New Zealand, the term used is Build-Operate-Own-Transfer (BOOT). Recently, in the
United States, BOT strategies are being considered for construction of portions of
Interstate 69, with groundbreaking on the
Southern Indiana Toll Road segment expected to begin in 2008.
