Oak station is a ground-level light rail stop situated on the W Line within the RTD Rail network. It is positioned close to the intersection of West Colfax Avenue and Oak Street in Lakewood, Colorado, inside the Lakewood Industrial Park area.
The station commenced operations on April 26, 2013, as a component of the West Corridor project, which was executed under the Regional Transportation District (RTD) FasTracks initiative. This expansion was financed through a sales tax increase approved by voters in the Denver metropolitan area.
Significant transit-oriented growth has taken place around the station. For example, in 2015, Terumo opened its global headquarters for Blood and Cell Technologies in the Lakewood Industrial Park. Furthermore, in 2020, the Oak Street Station Apartments—a mixed-use development spanning 392,802 square feet combining retail and residential spaces—was introduced.
The station includes a bus transfer plaza with multiple gates served by RTD Bus routes 16 and 17, along with a park-and-ride facility offering 200 parking spaces.
