## Resource

After diving into the new specs for the Water Resources PE, it’s time to do the same for the Transportation PE Exam and figure out what’s actually changing in 2027 if you’re taking this one. 👇 The good news? You can breathe a little easier. 😅 The exam itself isn't getting turned upside down (yet), but there are some important changes you need to know. Especially when it comes to the codes and standards you'll be expected to use on exam day — and there are quite a few of them! 😲 Therefore, in this episode, we compare the current specifications with the new version going into effect in 2027, clear up some of the misunderstandings floating around online, and talk through what these updates really mean for your exam prep. If you listened to our Water Resources PE specs breakdown, this follows the exact same format — but, this time, it's all about Transportation. So, go give this one a listen if Transportation is your path and get ahead of the 2027 changes before they sneak up on you! 👍 🚨 REMINDER 🚨 The official PDF document released by the NCEES for the 2027 specifications states that it’s effective 2024 for the exam content, and then that it’s effective 2027 when you scroll down to the codes and standards section. That’s correct, and it really means that the only thing they changed was the codes required — that’s why it reads “2027” — but the exam topics and content remain the same from the 2024 specs. Don’t let this technicality throw you off! 🧠 TUNE IN TO LEARN: Where to Find the New Specifications for the Transportation Exam Will the Format of the PE Exam Change With the Exam Specification Changes?
