That's naive. If they didn't want it to be a pure source of revenue they would have structured it that way. You can solve these misaligned incentives by requiring behavioral fines be revenue neutral: you get an annual pro rata rebate of what the city receives from the program, less administrative costs. In other words, you get paid, for relatively more encouraged behavior. This is why I am dead set against every congestion pricing program I've seen. It's not that the concept is wrong, but that its implementation is always another, unvoted-for tax.
