Poor people have much lower car ownership to begin with. It's irrelevant for most of them.

If you want to do traffic policy for the poor the best you can do is making walking safer.

I’m pretty sure the %age of income spent on auto related expenses goes up as you go down the income curve.

All comes down to how you define poor (is it homeless? « Lower class »? Whatever Boris Johnson would think of as a bad living situation?)
