data pretrans;
set have;
by id type_id;
if first.type_id
then group = 1;
else group + 1;
run;

proc sort data=pretrans;
by id group;
run;

proc transpose
  data=pretrans
  out=want
;
by id group;
var type;
if type_id;
run;

as you can't have multiple identical ID (the statement!) values within a BY group of PROC TRANSPOSE, so you must create a new group for this.
