That's just a convention. Gas tax is a sales tax. Few if any other sales tax goes toward a related expense. Liquor taxes don't go toward the promotion and distribution of liquor; cig taxes don't promote smoking, though they might in some cases go toward discouraging it.
I've been a life long user of public transit, and bicycle. And as I get older I expect to depend even more on public transit. I won't always be able to drive. And being able to ride a bike safely lets me stay active and healthy.
