That might be a good idea. I'll try building a handfull of characters and see how it goes.

Some groups have maintained the ability to maintain a limited number of motorized vehicles. Not enough to use constantly and most people would have to walk or ride and animal. Boats would still be a common form of travel. Aircraft would be reserved for the remnants of the government or some other group that may maintain at before war tech level but would be very rare and even they wouldn't use them all the time. I'm not sure about locomotives though. I'd think that it'd be hard to maintain them in this situation.
