For example people with jobs that require carrying a lot of equipment: plumbers, electricians, roofers, etc. . We don't want everybody to suddenly "be a roofer"

You basically can’t. Just look at Singapore. They made cars way fucking expensive and public transportation really easy but they still have congestion.

To do it right you would need to incentive things like building without parking, building high density near public transportation entry points.

Trying to regulate vehicles directly won’t have the effect you want.
