Oak station serves as the connecting point for service to downtown Golden, which the W Line does not serve despite the name of its terminal station. Connections to Golden are facilitated by a multi-gate bus transfer plaza served by RTD bus routes. The station also features a 200-space parking lot.[1]

The area around station has seen transit-oriented development. A large complex of Terumo offices, the headquarters for the company's Blood and Cell Technologies division, opened inside the Lakewood Industrial Park in 2015.[6] The Oak Street Station Apartments, a 392,802-square-foot (36,492.5 m2) retail and housing development, opened in 2020.[7]
