Initial Application Submittal Process
Do not submit your application for licensure until you have passed the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and confirmed that you meet the qualifying experience requirements (except for applicants applying for a Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam waiver). For additional information view the Professional Engineer (PE) Application page.
Submit your application for licensure using BPELSG Connect. For information on how to submit an application view the Professional Engineer (PE) Application Instructions.
Once you submit your application, you will be able to log in to monitor the status of the application review and address any deficiencies. Do not contact the Board for status updates; log in to BPELSG Connect and refer to your dashboard for status updates. View the Application Status Definitions for detailed information.
The Traffic Engineer exam is administered once a year during a two-week window. Applications are accepted on a continuous basis. There is no final filing date; however, a complete application that is submitted less than 150 days prior to the first date of the exam window will not be considered for that exam window; it will be considered for the exam window of the next year. A complete Traffic Engineer application is defined as an application that includes a minimum of four (4) Work Experience Engagements/References with a response on Part B from each reference, all relevant transcripts, and a passing score on the Laws and Rules exam. You are encouraged to submit your application well in advance of the 150 days to allow sufficient time for each reference to complete Part B of the Work Experience Engagements/References, for you to submit all relevant transcripts, pass the Laws and Rules exam, and resolve any deficiencies that may be issued during the review process.
