This paper investigates the quantitative homogenization of first-order ODEs. For single-scale scalar ODEs, we obtain a sharp O(ε) convergence rate and characterize the effective constant. In the multi-scale setting, our results match those of \citeIM for long times but improve the short-time error to O(ε). We also initiate the study of quasi-periodic homogenization in this context. The scalar framework is further extended to higher dimensions under a boundedness assumption on trajectories. For weakly coupled systems with fast switching rates, we obtain for the first time a convergence rate of order O(ε). These results have applications to linear transport equations and broader connections to PDEs and gradient systems.
