That's what we should do. What we really do more often is surround train stations with nothing but surface parking over every lot within 500m. Surface parking not only fails to make use of the potential for density in appropriate places but creates traffic and makes it harder to build mixed use or medium density elsewhere.
BART is the single largest provider of off-street parking in the USA. CalTrain seems to be trying to match it.
