This paper explains the rationale for building "bike oases," etc. to connect with transit.

> Converting "park-and-ride" to "bike-‐and‐ride" trips could yield important environmental, energy conservation, and public health benefits.

> From an air quality standpoint, transit riding does little good if most people use cars to reach stations.  For a three mile automobile trip, the typical distance driven to access a suburban park-and-ride lot in the U.S., the vast majority of hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions are due to cold starts and evaporative soaks.  Reliance on cars for accessing regional rail services significantly offsets the air quality benefits of patronizing transit…investing in bike-and-ride facilities promotes social justice since many transit users have no or limited car access.
