About Us

Susan Jacobs

Emeritus Board Member & Founder

Susan Jacobs founded Wheels of Success in 2003 after personal and professional experiences showed her how the lack of reliable transportation can threaten employment, independence, and family stability. For more than two decades, she led the organization in helping thousands of individuals and families gain access to dependable vehicles, opening doors to work, education, healthcare, and greater self-sufficiency. In 2026, Susan retired as CEO and continues to support the mission as Founding Emeritus Board Member.

Why Wheels of Success

Susan believes no one should lose the opportunity to work, care for their family, or build a better future because they lack reliable transportation. Through Wheels of Success, she has dedicated her life to turning transportation barriers into pathways to independence, dignity, and hope.
