Cars, as in personal vehicles, are one of the largest portions of environmental damage. The majority of cars are owned by people who aren’t rich

Yes, but the cities they live in are designed to support car infrastructure instead of being walkable / having adequate public transit. Cities are designed in this way to serve the interests of the wealthy.
The wealthy are the architects of the system we live in, and they resist any desire for change with all the power at their disposal. The disinformation they spread with media outlets they own, the lobbying to reduce regulation, outsourcing, etc. all play far more of a factor than your average persons agency.
