>Rural areas account for 14% of the US population. Why should they have veto power over the urban planning and transportation policy in metro areas?

They shouldn't. And neither should the urban planners have veto power of the planning and transportation policy of rural areas. Yet in my experience, these conversations never stop at "I want my urban area to be less car focused". It always seems to extend to "I can't wait until we ban cars everywhere"
