Hinesville has a mixed walkability profile. The downtown area boasts a few walkable spots with shops and cafes, making it somewhat pedestrian-friendly. However, for most errands and activities, a car is generally necessary. The presence of sidewalks can be inconsistent, particularly in older parts of town, limiting safe and comfortable walking routes. For travelers, only select areas are readily navigable on foot.

Hinesville is served by Liberty Transit, which offers fixed bus routes across the city and nearby areas, including Fort Stewart. Services operate from Monday to Friday and exclude weekends and holidays, which may restrict travel plans for visitors during these times. The schedule runs from early morning to early evening, catering to some commuters but potentially limiting for extensive day trips or spontaneous outings.

Bicycling in Hinesville is not the most common means of transport due to limited infrastructure. Some roads are suitable for biking, but the patchwork of bike paths and lanes doesn't fully support safe or comfortable cycling. Challenges like terrain and traffic can discourage biking in certain areas, although trails such as those in JF Gregory Park provide some leisure options. Serious cyclists may find the local setup less accommodating.
