Private motor vehicle traffic is prohibited on the entire island, which has been regulated by law since 1927.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Some exceptions exist, recently increasingly with electric drive. Horse-drawn carts are used for passenger transport and some goods traffic. Between the northern and southern parts of the municipality, an electric regular bus operated by ''[[Rügener Personennahverkehrs GmbH]]'' (RPNV) runs Monday through Friday. However, the most frequently used means of transportation is the [[bicycle]].

Unlike pedelecs/e-bikes, [[Motorized scooter|e-scooters]] on Hiddensee require a special permit, which is rarely issued, like all vehicles powered by engine power.

The island can be reached via several ship connections both from Stralsund (seasonally limited) and from [[Schaprode]] on [[Rügen]], operated by the [[Weiße Flotte (Stralsund)|Weiße Flotte "Reederei Hiddensee"]]. Here, the [[free transportation]] of severely disabled persons applies.<ref>[https://www.oepnv-info.de/freifahrt/informationen/mecklenburg-vorpommern/faehren-mecklenburg-vorpommern/faehren-der-reederei-hiddensee Fähren der Reederei Hiddensee] auf öepnv-info.de, retrieved 5 October 2022.</ref> In the summer season, there are further connections with [[Ralswiek]], [[Breege]], [[Wiek, Rügen|Wiek]] and [[Zingst]]. There are also [[Water taxi|water taxi connections]] with the mainland and the island of Rügen.
