OPINION
HARTEN, JudgeA bookmobile patron injured by falling from a stationary bookmobile brought an action against respondent, her insurer, for No-Fault benefits. A district court found respondent liable. Respondent then brought this action against appellant, the bookmobile’s insurer, for reimbursement pursuant to Minn.Stat. § 65B.47, subd. 1 (1998). The district court found appellant liable to respondent. • Because we hold that a stationary bookmobile is not a vehicle being used in the business of transporting persons or property within the meam-ing of Minn.Stat. § 65B.47, subd. 1, we reverse and remand with directions that the district court order summary judgment for appellant.
FACTS
Beatrice Sandefur was injured when she alighted from a stationary bookmobile owned by the City of Rochester and insured by appellant League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. Sandefur sued her insurer, respondent Illinois Farmers Insurance Company, for No-Fault benefits. The district court determined that respondent was liable because Sandefur’s injuries arose out of the use of a motor. vehicle. Respondent did not appeal from this determination but stipulated to judgment for $25,000 in settlement of the No-Fault claim.
¡Respondent then sued appellant for reimbursement of the $25,000 pursuant to Minn.Stat. § 65B.47, subd. 1 (1998), providing that -if an accident occurs “while the vehicle is being used in the business of transporting persons or property” the vehicle’s insurer is security for the injured party’s No-Fault benefits. - The parties brought cross-motions for summary judgment. The district court determined that, at the time of Sandefur’s injury, the bookmobile was in the business of transporting persons and property and ordered judgment for respondent.
ISSUE1
Was the bookmobile being used in the business of transporting, persons and property within the meaning of Minn.Stat. § 65B.47, subd. 1 (1998)?
ANALYSIS
“Insurance coverage issues are questions of law for the court.” State Farm Ins. Co. v. Seefeld, 481 N.W.2d 62, 64 (Minn.1992) (citation omitted). Statutory construction is a question of law that this court reviews de novo. Sorenson v. St. Paul Ramsey Med. Ctr., 457 N.W.2d 188, 190 (Minn.1990).
Minn.Stat. § 65B.47, subd. 1 (1998) provides:
In case of injury to the driver or other occupant of a motor vehicle, if the accident causing the injury occurs while the vehicle is being used in the business of *430transporting persons or property, the security for payment of basic economic loss benefits is the security covering the vehicle * * *.
The district court concluded that the bookmobile was “being used in the business of transporting persons or property” when the accident occurred. None of the three cases construing Minn.Stat. § 65B.47, subd. 1, supports that conclusion.
Dakota Fire Ins. Co. v. Hartford Fire Ins. Co., 558 N.W.2d 524 (Minn.App.1997) held that a van rented from a transportation service company to transport students on a field trip was “being used in the business of transporting persons or property” when an accident occurred on the field trip. Id. at 526.
Regardless of whether [the transportation service company] supplied the driver (or saw to other details of the transport), the van was being used in the business of transporting people when the accident occurred. ⅜ * *
* * * *
This case falls more clearly within the statutory meaning of “being used in the business of transporting persons or property.” Especially when considering the rationale behind the statute — requiring those in the transportation business to bear the risks as a cost of business— it makes sense that the van would be considered to be in use in the business of transporting persons.
Id. at 526-27 (footnote omitted). Dakota Fire is clearly distinguishable; in the instant case, no income stream derived from use of the bookmobile. Moreover, holding a bookmobile liable for No-Fault benefits to an injured patron would not achieve the statutory purpose of “requiring those in the transportation business to bear the risks * * *[.]” Id., (emphasis added).
Peterson v. Colonial Ins. of California, 493 N.W.2d 152, 153 (Minn.App.1992) held that “a motor vehicle being used for undercover police work is not being used in the business of transporting persons or prop-
The fact that a vehicle is used in connection with a person’s occupation is insufficient by itself to make this provision applicable. The use to which the vehicle is being put must be the business of transporting persons or property. This implies more than transporting a driver, or a driver’s companion. That is a tangential connection between the use of the motor vehicle and a person’s occupation. Such a tangential connection is all that is present here.
We hold the vehicle involved in this accident was not being used in the business of transporting persons or property. The ear was being used in undercover police work, not a transportation business.
Id. at 154-55 (footnotes omitted). The bookmobile here was being used as a library; like the car in Peterson, it was not being used in a transportation business.
Home Mutual Ins. Co. v. Snyder, 356 N.W.2d 780 (Minn.App.1984) held that the statute applied to a truck used by a farmer to deliver potatoes. “[The farmer] was clearly using the truck in the business of transporting potatoes to his outlets in Iowa.” Home Mutual, 356 N.W.2d at 785. As is Dakota Farmer, Home Mutual is readily distinguishable. Here, the bookmobile was not transporting books to retail outlets, nor was any income derived from its operation.
See also Mutual Service Casualty Ins. Co. v. Wilson Township, 603 N.W.2d 151, 153-54 (Minn.App.1999) (construing “in the business of’ in an insurance policy as a phrase “commonly understood to refer to a commercial enterprise or activity”), review denied (Minn. Mar. 14, 2000); Minn.Stat. § 645.08(1) (1998) (“Words and phrases are construed * according to their common and approved usage * * *.”). The bookmobile was not a commercial enterprise or activity; its revenue was fines for overdue books; citizens did not pay to use it; neither the bookmobile nor its asso*431ciated library system made a profit. The bookmobile was not in the business of transporting persons or property as that phrase is construed according to common and approved usage.
DECISION
The Rochester bookmobile was not a vehicle being used in the business of transporting persons or property within the meaning of Minn.Stat. § 65B.47, subd. 1. Appellant is not the security for Sandefur’s No-Fault benefits and, upon remand, is entitled to summary judgment accordingly.
Reversed and remanded.
. Appellant raises a second issue on appeal, arguing that because Sandefur's injury did not arise out of the maintenance or use of a motor vehicle, she was not entitled to No-Fault benefits from respondent. A district court previously determined that Sandefur’s injury did arise out of the maintenance or use of a motor vehicle and that she was entitled to No-Fault benefits from respondent. Respondent did not appeal from that determination. Because our determination of the section 65B.47, subd. 1, issue is dispositive, even assuming appellant's second issue is viable, we need not address it.
